Linden's servers do maintain some kind of "interest list" that uses camera position to decide what content to send to the viewer, but the client usually has control of the position anyway. I don't think small changes in camera focus direction affect it much, but large changes such as turning your avatar 180 degrees will result in a lot of object create and kill packets being sent to your viewer. Opensim currently sends the whole region to each viewer so it wouldn't be an issue.
Still, this behavior would seem to work the same way as it does with the current viewers unless the camera separation was taken to some extreme.
