No, Hybrid MBR is situations with machines that can only read MBR, and 
machines that can only read GPT. It is dangerous, as any modification of 
the partition table needs to be done in both tables.
I recommend avoiding that.

Every old BIOS can boot from the GPT disk, as it only reads the boot sector.
Although, certain boot managers are too fat for the 1st sector and need 
a special (really small) bios_gpt partition on GPT disks.
