No, ip6.arpa is for reverse DNS; this is forward DNS.

If you are able to have the reverse zone for your subnet delegated to nameservers under your control, you can use it as a "forward" zone too.

DNS doesn't technically have the concept of forward and reverse - it's just record types and an agreed format that the PTR records should be.
