Of course it does or Pov would not report it as an infinite object.

 box{<500000,0,100000><-50000,0,1000> is also valid.

  I have wondered about this myself when I have recieved similar reports
from Pov and suspect it may be that beyond a certain distance it no longer
computes ray intersections for that object making it in effect infinite.

I may be wrong.
