No.  AFAICS, the router belongs to the 3GPP operator.  The client belongs 
to the 3GPP user (user device).  Right?  These are different entities.  
Whether RA is used makes no difference.

But also on the same link as other clients in the same 3GPP operator (or
maybe the particular GGSN), right?  In any case, it's *NOT* a 
point-to-point link between the router and one client, right?
