It does. Unfortunately, while "ti" might translate as "this thing",
the converse isn't always true. From the CLL: "The cmavo ``ti'',
``ta'', and ``tu'' provide only the pointing function of ``this'' and
``that''; they are not used to refer to things that cannot be pointed
at."

It would be like saying in English "this object composed on my
Android".

go'i .i uinaiku'i zo ti fanza zoi gy this thing gy na roroi soi .i
la'e zoi gy CLL gy cusku zoi gy The cmavo ``ti'', ``ta'', and ``tu''
provide only the pointing function of ``this'' and ``that''; they are
not used to refer to things that cannot be pointed at. gy .i la'e de'u
simsa lonu cusku bau glibau zoi gy this object composed on my Android

PS note: Does "na soi" or even riskier "na roroi soi" work?
