OpenROAD.IOPlacementhave no validation. Layout would be generated with geometry related issues such as overlapping pins and pins that violate spacing rules. Back in the day, these variables were added to ensure maximum routability for macro integration. In a recent (will find the link) discussion with OpenROAD it was questioned whether these options are really needed and should be removed.
