Probably. I don't think adding something to pg_stat_database is appropriate.
IMO this concept should be explained in the logical replication chapter [1].
Logical replication uses transaction infrastructure to apply changes, hence,
statistics will take it into account.

No. Physical replication does not use the transaction machinery to replicate
changes. It is in a lower layer and statistics don't apply at it.
