No, it's not. $HOSTNAME$ shouldn't work. Macros are only supposed to be
available within the command_line of a command{} definition and only for
the following --

   1. Service checks
   2. Service notifications
   3. Host checks
   4. Host notifications
   5. Service event handlers and/or a global service event handler
   6. Host event handlers and/or a global host event handler
   7. OCSP command
   8. OCHP command
   9. Service performance data commands
  10. Host performance data commands

If that$HOSTNAME$ substitution is working now I'd say you've encountered
a convenient bug. Based on my possibly outdated understanding of the
program flow it shouldn't be working.
