Not necessarily.  Not using the Focus Limitation and replacing it with other Limitations like Restrainable* is one of the best ways to represent Thor's Hammer only being usable by Thor.  Does that make the Hammer less of a thing?

 

*It can be kept from Thor temporarily.

Tell that to the people that gave it to Jane Foster.

No, it's only removing the limitations of something being a thing. The Focus limitations can be broken down into a number of factors:

1. Foci can be seen (obviously or inobviously). The hammer space/bad of holding takes this away, but itself might be seen.

2. Foci can be taken away (in combat if accessible, if the enemy has you unconcious or something if inaccessible). The hammer space/bad of holding takes this away, but itself might be able to be taken away.

3. Foci can be broken (usually). The hammer space/bad of holding removes this while the item is in it, but not when used.

4. Foci require the use of one hand (unless the item has the two-handed limitation, which is seperate). The hammer space/bad of holding does not take this away.

 

I would think that buying this for heroic level items would be a naked buyoff of the focus limitation, itself with or without focus limitation, and perhaps a including a restrainable, whatever that limitation is called where the effect can be attacked, and recoverable charges (slots, sadly a little "video game inventory"-esque, but I do prefer bounded limitations than a physical volume at least for hammerspace).
