I don't think so. Camouflage has been used to hide things in the terrain for a long time, but I don't think it's ever been used impersonate a different area's terrain (which I think you'd have to do to "spoof" in this context).
Edit: Actually, now that I think about it, I might be wrong. Wartime blackouts could probably be thought of a kind of spoofing camouflage, especially if they put decoy lights in an area away from the city or left lights on in less-critical areas.
