Is this a complete current postcode directory?

No. This is a selected sample from a dated carrier reference, not a complete allocation register from the Ethiopian postal operator. A current link does not establish that every listed association is unchanged.

Does a locality code apply to every building there?

No street-level coverage is established by these rows. Several localities share a code, while the reference sometimes lists a locality more than once. Use the code published for the exact recipient and keep PO-box routing separate from a physical address.
