No, it's not. XeTeX writes a \special into the XDV file: pdf:pagesize  
width 423.94606pt height 597.50787pt. Both xdv2pdf and xdvipdfmx seem  
to read, understand, and apply this.

Don't trust so much what you see in some viewer. These programmes are  
often too dumb to read useful parameters from the PDF file and act in  
some inflexible default way. Use pdfinfo to check the reality!
