No, this is NOT common practice in New Zealand, and no, Domino's here did not do this as any more than a novelty gag.
I'm pretty sure the canned spaghetti on pizza thing goes back to an instagram post that our PM at the time, Bill English, put up of a canned spaghetti and pineapple pizza he made, for which he was mocked mercilessly by both kiwis and foreigners. Pretty sure John Oliver got in on the roasting too.
Edit: Here's a link to the story from April 2017

The dominos thing was a limited time offer, and it was a direct reference to the former PM

For what it's worth, I grew up in Auckland during the 80s and 90s, and canned spaghetti on pizza was definitely a thing growing up. Homemade pizzas typically had canned spaghetti as a base as opposed to tomato/pizza sauce in my circle. I don't recommend it, but it was likely something Bill English grew up with as well.
