It is not nearly so simple. Honeycomb has a new UI element, a "system bar," intended for tablet type devices which replaces the status bar. There is nothing that says a particular device will use this or a status bar, however, and certainly post honeycomb on phone devices you can expect to continue to see the traditional status bar at the top.
There is also no requirement that a manufacturer put the status bar at the top or bottom or even one side or another. There is no API to find out where the status bar is.
