Yep, that is how 415VAC is obtained.

But is it how it's metered?

I haven't gone through the math, and I'd overlooked the fact that each
meter sees a power factor of less than one, so I can't say now whether I
think the meters would read correctly. But if there's a way of looking
at the problem that makes the answer obvious, I've yet to see it.

Do it the old fashioned way: make a test! Can't be that difficult, can
it?
