PDF does not know a BoundingBox. With PDF the MediaBox
is used. For example, a pdf file with the image without
margins and the correct MediaBox can be generated from
a eps file with correct BoundingBox via epstopdf.

If you want to have a part of the image, you can
use the graphicx options viewport or trim for
\includegraphics. (But this requires graphicx,
an uptodate pdftex.def, and pdfTeX >= 0.14).
