Yes the annotation area will be determined correctly as far as
correct sizes are given to pdf:xann. When dvipdfmx encounters
pdf:xann the annotation area grows by the amount specified.

Dvipdfmx just add an area specified by pdf:xann to the current
annotation area it is calculating. There are no problems if multiple
\phantom are used and line breaks occur.
