No idea for other languages, but for the languages I mostly deal with as
lyrics -- i.e. Italian and Latin -- this seems to be not true in general.
Both languages have rather simple sets of hyphenation rules (with some
oddities, about which later) and, in all cases I am aware of, lyrics are
hyphenated as a regular text would and not as pronounced.

For instance, It. "passo" (/step/) is always hyphenated "pas-so", even if it
obviously sung "pa-sso"; "comprendere" (/understand/) is always hyphenated
"com-pren-de-re", but it is obviously sung "co-mpre-nde-re"; and so on. So,
no, at least for these languages, "sung-hyphenation" should always match
"read-hyphenation".

Now, for the oddities. The major one, for both languages, are diphthongs,
which may be hyphenated or not, depending on the music. The Italian pronoun
"io" (/I/) might be applied to a single note (non-hyphenated at all) or
split into two notes, "i-o", according to the music it is applied to. Same
for possessive pronouns like "mio/mi-o", "tuo/tu-o" and for words like
"leg-gia-drìa/leg-gia-drì-a".

So, even 'simple' cases might turn out not to be so simple after all...
