I think this is correct:
OOTP loads players from the database without respect to translating those statistics. Any translations need to be done before loading the stats. This means that OOTP considers the stats as being loaded to have all been generated in the exact same conditions.

Those stats are converted into ratings, which is what the game uses to determine batter-pitcher outcomes.

During the batter-pitcher outcome determination, the ballpark in which the game is being played will affect the outcome. It's your responsibility to make sure the ballparks in OOTP play the way they would in real life if you're trying to recreate an MLB season. OOTP doesn't make those adjustments for you.

In summary:
Ballpark factors are not considered when loading players.
Ballpark factors are considered when generating game results.
