That seems fairly straightforward to check.

What does the debug log say?

Or the tcpdump of the traffic between nginx and the fastcgi server?

Or the fastcgi server logs, if you can see them?

(It's the one that you would expect it to be, based on
fastcgi_split_path_info being useful.)

What it actually comes down to is the time at which variables are
evaluated -- and in general, it's "the first time they are needed".
