Of course it's used for regular expressions, just not for the match
attribute.
It's used for the pattern facet in the XML Schema.

It matches any field that does not already have a field descriptor that
directly
matches the name (or bind-xml name) of the field.

Since you are not using auto-complete and bb, bbb do not have fields
specified
in the class mapping for x, both bb and bbb will be matched by the field

since you have specified '*'.
