Yes - sorry, (x)dvipdfmx does not currently support page rotation in  
the PDF it is embedding.

You can rotate images with the \includegraphics command at the time  
of placing them in xelatex; this should work. But I'm not sure if the  
page rotation in your PDF itself will lead to incorrect scaling/ 
positioning, depending whether this is taken into account when the  
image is measured for layout (as opposed to embedded by the driver).
