No because in a dooring zone i can look to see when it’s clear. In this type of parking i can’t see through a car next to me and so have to reverse without being able to see when its clear.
Unless I’ve misunderstood what you meant by “dooring zone”.
If you ride close to the cars in streets with parallel parked cars you’re in the dooring zone. Someone doesn’t check if there’s a cyclist approaching, opens the door and you ride into the door because you can’t react fast enough. Usually you can’t look into the cars ahead of you, at least I rarely can. You should keep some distance from those cars, but sometimes bike lanes are in the dooring zone.
