Yes, but that's how Tor would work even if he wasn't using hidden services. The point of a hidden service is to give anonymity to the server as well as the client. But in this case, his server isn't getting anonymity because it is simple to locate.

It also protects against man-in-the-middle attacks by exit nodes, though I'm not sure how important that is in this case.
