No, you're right. Don't think of Asterisk as a SIP proxy, it's a PBX.
At this moment, one device per peer is the rule, and to have multiple
devices per user is done in the dial plan, not on channel level.

If you have multiple devices registering on the same peer SIP account,
only the last registration will be used (and which one this is, will wary...)
