Correct, with batter still in the box, it does not matter where the ball hit.
The batter would have to be completely out of the box, and then you would have to call fair/foul, to be out.
Handling - it is basic to umpiring not to guess an out, and typical to give the batter the benefit of the doubt in such cases.
- discuss with partner privately if possible.
