Sure it is. Although technically, what happens is likely more of a
filtering of type 5 announcements vs an interpretation of P bit settings
leading to a decision not to convert type 7's to 5's.

Making the area totally stubby removes the inter area routing information
(Type 3 LSAs) from the area. It has nothing to do with externals.

I take it you didn't check the link I provided which pictorially describes
this exact situation. The router is an ABR that has an interface in the
backbone, and interface in an NSSA area, and happens to redistribute some
routing information. In this case, it wishes not to inject that routing
information into the NSSA area, but only into the rest of the OSPF
domain. I'm completely unaware of the relevance of virtual links in this
scenario.
