Yeah.

I believe at least for the non-shared memory the OpenMP model wouldn't allow
that.  Of course, user can do the sharing explicitly (though OpenMP 4.0
doesn't have asynchronous target regions): one could e.g. run a couple of
host tasks on the offloading region with if (0) - forced host fallback,
ensure e.g. one team and one parallel thread in that case,
and then in one host task with if (1) and use as many teams and parallel
threads as available on the offloading device.
