That's the idea! ;-)

If you enable this feature, gschem won't be so zoomed out when a new
page is created.

FYI it calls o_complex_add with the parameters you give in the scheme
call. 

I tried placing a titleblock at (0,0), and I got the titleblock on the
bottom left corner of the schematic page.

In the system-gschemrc I left (1000,1000) coordinates. Sometimes you
want to have some free space around the titleblock...
