I believe both exist at all times relative to the direction the teams are going without regard to team control. But, FC/BC status only has relevance at certain times.

Teams A's frontcourt is still team A's frontcourt even when team B has the ball....it just happens to be team B's backcourt too.

Many of the case plays support this view as well when they mention a defensive player jumping from their FC or BC and catching the ball in the air. This implies that FC/BC exist for the team not in control as well.
