Yes. In BIRD, router is considered ASBR if the export filter of the OSPF
protocol is set to something different than 'none' (so it could export
external routes, regardless of whether it actually exported them).

That is also a reason why it does not allow it the area 172.16.34.0 to be
set as stub area (as ASBRs cannot be in stub areas).

Just do not set export filter in OSPF if you do not want to export external routes.
