In my city this information seems to come from relations of type boundary=administrative. These relations mark an area (polygon) covering part of the city. In OsmAnd display there are even some streets shown once for each suburb if the suburb boundary relation splits a street into two. So OsmAnd does not guess some nearest suburb point. Of course, it may be that not all cities/countries are properly covered by administrative boundaries of all levels.
