No. It's simply that the default orthography for lojban is the one that I am using RIGHT NOW to type this letter, so it's convenient to refer to it as the lojban orthography or the Latin/romanji/Spanish/English/German, etc. orthography. If we were using tegwar, larlermorna, srilermorna, etc., we would need a different shift, with zai or ce'a.... ru'o is the shift for Cyrillic.

I take {softo} to correspond to something like 'pertaining to the "Russosphere"', not (just) 'Soviet'. Since I don't know of any serious usage of that word, I'm not sure what to do with it, however.
Obviously the Cyrillic alphabet is not limited to that culture/area/whatever. On the other hand, the Latin alphabet is not limited to Latin -- is it {latmo} though? I don't know.
(Even more off topic: I don't get {lo'a}. How can it (or could it, if it were used) shift to the Lojban *slash* Latin alphabet? Do we not pretend that they are not necessarily the same thing? Does {lo'a} shift to Cyrillic in a Cyrillic Lojban text?)
