Hi Gilad,
sorry that it took so long to answer your question.
When drawing the annotation you have to think like you draw it on the unrotated
page with your pages upper left corner being the lower left corner and the
width and height of the annotation rect being swapped.
With that the calculation of the quads is
float[] quads = new float[8];
quads[0] = position.getLowerLeftX();
quads[1] = position.getLowerLeftY();
quads[2] = quads[0];
quads[3] = position.getUpperRightY();
quads[4] = position.getUpperRightX();
quads[5] = quads[1];
quads[6] = quads[4];
quads[7] = quads[3];
Hope that helps.
BR
