While you are correct, it is irrelavant. Even if the player is throwing the ball from a point ouside the lane, it is still possible to hit the back of the board if the pass is intended to go across the lane.
If it is after a made basket, the player may also make the throw in from anywhere they chose along the line and we will not stop them from doing so from directly behind the backboard.
