Not really. It just means that signal was bad even before Beacon Tower fell. It doens't matter where you got your signal from, if one tower falls that is what you are going to use as the explanation for why the signal is bad universally.

That's why it's not really an indicator at all of where the village is based, as he doesn't specifically say that they got their signal from Beacon's Tower. Only that they had bad reception even before the network went down.

The main thing that proves they are in Anima already, however, is no blacksmith or anything. It's the Official from the town in the very first episode:

Official:  ( amused ) Ha. I take it you’re not from these parts. Anima  is a large continent. I’m afraid our people would never survive the long trek to Mistral. It may be safer in the  Kingdoms, but we prefer our way of life. I just wish we could pay you more.

He flat out says that they are on Anima already, just outside the patroled part f the Kingdom of Mistral.
