Actually, not so much.

Keep in mind the staff has had to re-create every zone from Classic-Velious, and each one of those zones was harder than making a custom zone, because they had to do tons of research and try to conform exactly to what Verant made.

With custom zones they just grab some random post-classic-era zone, and fill it with whatever mobs/items they feel like. They've actually said that this is the reason they won't be re-creating any more original Verant zones: if we get (say) a Plane of Earth that you reach from The Hole, it will be a custom P99 version of it and not a copy of the one from Planes (of course, the Planes one was built for level 65s with AAs, so that kind of goes without saying anyways ... but the point is that custom is easier than classic for the devs).
