My question was a hypothetical, could it have been ruled offside () in that situation?

Also, is the rule subject to change during a free kick/corner kick/in the penalty box etc or is there pretty much no room for leniency?
You can't be offside from a corner (as everyone is behind the ball to begin with), and you can't be offside from a throw in (source of much anger during youth football coaching).
