No, you're absolutely right - pin yin is a transliteration only - there are no newspapers or the like in pin yin. It's not a useful tool of communication, as far as I know.

Pin Yin is absolutely daft in its aberrant transpositions of Latin alphabet sounds. They should have stuck with Gwoyeu Romatzyh, except that G.R. was the system adopted by the Nationalists. I'd be interested to know the history behind the adoption of Pin Yin.
