Not necessarily in this particular case.  To pick an example, 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/6463053024 has a tag 
"email=info at lieferando.de" which looks a bit suspicious, but assuming 
that https://www.doncamillospringe.de/ was created with the agreement of 
the pizza place itself it does refer to Lieferando, both at 
https://www.doncamillospringe.de/ and 
https://www.doncamillospringe.de/privacystatement .   The impressum 
street address is for the pizza place: 
https://www.doncamillospringe.de/colofon .

Elsewhere, we've seen people change hotel website tags in OSM from the 
hotel's _actual_ website to one for a front company that wants to take a 
cut of any orders - that's why I mentioned "fake websites".

Best Regards,

Andy
