The bond may be done at or in the customer premises, although for domestic installations, usually isn't. In my case, the safety ground is separate from the electricity supply ground because I refused to have PME. However, the neutral is grounded at the pole in the garden, which is the end of the line from the transformer, but is strictly in my premises. Hard and fast rules can be more difficult to apply in rural installations.
The basic principle of dealing with the protective ground wire and the neutral as being separate conductors with separate functions does, I believe, still apply.
