however the phone and connection to the ATA is the same in both cases,
so for your idea to work the ATA would have to have a connection from
the 3rd wire on the PSTN port pass through to the same on the phone
output, as well as an incoming BT-RJ11 cable correctly configured to
get the ring signal to the right place.

Personally I doubt this happens, as the international RJ11 PSTN
convention is to simply use the centre two connectors for the line.
