Well, it sorta is a matter of distance. If you get so far away that you can't confirm the sinking, it never happens because IIRC the game only renders other vessels and their activity when you are within a certain range of them. Once you're outside that range, they cease to exist in terms of the "world" the game created for you to move around in. (Someone please correct me if I've misunderstood how this works.)

That's correct....the SH3 world may not be rendered but the computer is still carrying out the countless number of calculations for each second of gameplay throughout the SH3 world though.

And it is possible to attack a ship and witness it sinking and not be the reason that it sinks - for instance, if the Luftwaffe shows up and starts bombing it. If the damage that results in the sinking isn't caused by you, you won't get credit for it. But I'm not sure if you still get the "She's going down" message in that case.
I know some other players have had kills "stolen" out from under their noses by other Axis forces, so maybe someone else can answer that question?

You should only get the "She's going down" message if the kill is yours and you have sucked the last/final damage point out of the victim.
