No, in the above example you are measuring port25 of device 192.168.100.50 
and storing the results in a file called 192.168.100.30

What would  make more sense would be to rename the file thus:
Target[192.168.100.50-25]: 25:community at 192.168.100.50

use 
Target[192.168.100.50-10]: 10:community at 192.168.100.50
Target[192.168.100.50-20]: 20:community at 192.168.100.50
Target[192.168.100.50-30]: 30:community at 192.168.100.50
