No, they should still be in German (provided that you select German as 
FE language). The TypoScript from your extension is added to the 
complete TypoScript and since you only changed where felogin has to find 
the template the labels from felogin are used here.

That's the logical place to put XLIFF files indeed.
You can override the labels in TypoScript ( 
plugin.tx_felogin_pi1._LOCAL_LANG.de.username = Your label )
