Actually, I would say that Lojban does have to what you are referring, if I 
understand you correctly.

The simplest way of explaining it could be how to refer to a mother.
{lo mamta} means "one who is a mother" -- this refers to something that 
matches the "universally" agreed-upon definition of {mamta}
{le mamta} means "one that I describe as a mother" -- this is more 
subjective, and makes no claim that everyone would agree with the 
description
{la .mam.} is more like the name "Mom" that you might call someone.

So, if I'm interpreting your question correctly, then yes, {lo} is kind of 
like being in the "global" namespace, where {le} is kind of like being in 
the "local" namespace. {la} is very loose -- it's basically a different 
name format, as it doesn't require a grammatical word, but only a 
pronounceable word.
