It does not. Not for the purposes we are discussing. But there are some areas around Bellevue that are very confusing spots that are Bellevue but show Omaha for the mailing address.

Minor correction: It is not lawful for two living, unrelated non-licensees from different states to buy/sell firearms directly. It doesn't matter whether those firearms are long guns or handguns.
The only time that long gun/handgun distinction really matters for an interstate sale is when a nonlicensee is buying from a licensee in a state other than his state of residence. In that scenario, the licensee would generally be allowed to sell a long gun to the non-resident buyer, but not a handgun.

Here are the relevant bits:
--- Quote ---Q: To whom may an unlicensed person transfer firearms under the GCA?
A person may sell a firearm to an unlicensed resident of his State, if he does not know or have reasonable cause to believe the person is prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms under Federal law. A person may loan or rent a firearm to a resident of any State for temporary use for lawful sporting purposes, if he does not know or have reasonable cause to believe the person is prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms under Federal law. A person may sell or transfer a firearm to a licensee in any State. However, a firearm other than a curio or relic may not be transferred interstate to a licensed collector.
[18 U.S.C. 922(a)(3) and (5), 922(d), 27 CFR 478.29 and 478.30]
Q: From whom may an unlicensed person acquire a firearm under the GCA?
A person may only acquire a firearm within the person’s own State, except that he or she may purchase or otherwise acquire a rifle or shotgun, in person, at a licensee’s premises in any State, provided the sale complies with State laws applicable in the State of sale and the State where the purchaser resides. A person may borrow or rent a firearm in any State for temporary use for lawful sporting purposes.
[18 U.S.C. 922(a)(3) and (5), 922(b)(3), 27 CFR 478.29 and 478.30]
