Yes, you are free to use any realtions. They don't foreced to be part of your domain. The only requirement is existance of repository of a model, taht you're relating to. In case of FAL - the right place is TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\FileRepository method findByRelation()

No :)
This method is just a wrapper for common FAL TCA configuration. You can do all same by yourself, but will get same result. The problem is, actually, even not related to FAL, but to Core and Extbase.
In general case: translations have master record - all works, like it should. But in case, when translations don't have master record, Core and Extbase fail to produce correct objects references and collections.
