It should be syntactically rejected but probably isn't because of a bug.

LoadModule is executed while being read at startup.
<if> is evaluated during request processing, so it's obviously far too late.

I do have a patch for <IfFile> that acts like <ifDefine> (works at
startup) somewhere that would satisfy this kind of config. Otherwise,
you need to do the test -f in a startup script, then pass -DFOO to
apachectl based on the result, and use IfDefine in your config.
