Which does not mean they have to be created on the same server.

No. If you don't own the IP address range - like, say, the OP - you're
not authoritative for the reverse lookups, and therefore not supposed to
create the PTR records. Of course one should make sure the records exist
(i.e. have the owner of the address range create them), but that's a
different story.
That's right, Ansgar; the server is colocated, and we're not
responsible, so my understanding is that we shouldn't have those
PTRs...
Is that true, Dan, or am I still being wooly?
