Your definition is questionable. There are:

(a) addresses that are globally unique but not globally routable. (These are extremely common in IPv6. These are not so common in IPv4 because IPv4 addresses are expensive, so people try to minimize usage, so people will try to avoid using paid-for globally unique addresses for non-routable purposes.)

(b) addresses that are in ranges that are, per spec and actual usage, only even defined within an organization and are not globally unique. For example, 192.168.0.1.

(a) and (b) are not the same by any useful definition. Sorry.
