Last name plus [FOREIGN] is used in a limited manner. In a more friendly setting, you can use first name plus [FOREIGN]. In a more formal relationship, you call them by their full name and [FOREIGN]. In this case, Justin is a first name, so by calling him Justin [FOREIGN]. We can see that the relationship is that of close friends or acquaintances.
