> If understood it correctly, physical lines don't obey the indentation rules and can have any indentation, e.g. the same indentation as the return statement in the example.

Right. There are two exceptions to the rule: you may use the \ symbol to extend a logical line, so here the indentation doesn't matter. And the same happens inside a () [] or {}.

In practice the \ are uncommon in good Python programs, the programmer usually just adds a ().
