Well, it is in so far as if the batter-runner is running in fair territory she is NOT running in the running lane. If she runs outside the lane and interferes with the fielder taking the throw at 1B then she is guilty of INT. Dead ball, batter-runner out, all other runners return to the base occupied at time of INT.
A BR can be subject to an INT call for not being in the 3' lane, fair or foul IS irrelevant. For that matter, there are times when running in fair territory is not only permissible, but IS in the 3' lane.
