Yes. You will often see these kinds of blocking movements in skiers who force themselves to ski too square to the skis, and pull the inside foot back so much that their hip turns toward the hill toward the end of the turn. This completely ignores the kinetic chain (what the body wants to naturally do) and is not PMTS, or good/correct skiing [probably more closely associated with ATS]. Remember counter rotation. if you are properly using counter rotation you should be physically blocked from pulling the inside foot so far back that it hinders your turn (balance, counter balance, outside ski pressure, etc.).
The reason that you hear many coaches harping about pulling the inside ski back is that excessive tip lead is a far more common problem than lack of tip lead (watch any normal skier on the mountain if you doubt this). The goal should be to minimize tip lead in the context of other correct movements. If that requires/creates some tip lead then so-be-it.
