That's an interesting guess.  pdf-tools is able to perform search in
the PDF file, so it should theoretically possible to implement this also there.

The SyncTeX file I'm using for backward search with TeXstudio is the
one created by compilation in AUCTeX, so TeXstudio doesn't add
anything more to that file.
