Probably not. This is a *client* configuration, not an nginx one.

You will need that all clients (= browsers) know how to turn whatever
server name you want to use, into whatever IP address your server has.

Usually DNS takes care of this.

/etc/hosts is a useful temporary local setting until DNS records are
set up properly.
