yes, and...? I don't think that this is inconsistent with his
political anarchocapitalist position. He has many places in his
book where he points out difficulties (I've read the book too.)
However, your comment, Rafal, doesn't connect with my comment
that I don't think that there are ways to distinguish libertarians
from anarchists, libertarians being the larger category.

BTW, A central government.. of any kind.. provides a big fat target
for any kind of aggression. If your society consists of a network
of inconsequential nodes, then where do any possible aggressors
attack? A network of nodes have little need of a defense against
organized external aggression.
