"Outside our view" seems to be more accurate, since I think zombies who are killed after they come into view, even though they haven't been on the lawn, seem to still give scores in Arena.
And I think I can confirm that my Tumbleweed does attack them not yet seen zombies, when I listened to its hitting sound effect as it bumped into zombies I didn't see yet. I've also encountered one where my Tumbleweed hit the second zombie off screen (as in, those two early zombies in the first wave), so that there's only one zombie seen (the other one only 'heard') in the level where two zombies are supposed to appear in the first wave.
However, I'm still not sure if that's the reason why taking care of the lawn using Tumbleweed results in a low score in Arena despite doing really well. I saw in Fantastix's youtube channel, they said something like "overkill" can result in low scores in Arena. That's why Fantastix didn't use Threepeater+Torchwood in Pokra Boosterama level.
On that note, I also feel like using (Primal) Potato Mine in Boosterama or with Tile Turnip in normal Arena level, can also "overkill" the waves, and ends up with lower scores than the other strats, despite being able to take care of the zombies easier/quicker (compared to those other strats). Furthermore, PPM's explosion shouldn't reach too far to zombies off-screen, so it could be the overkill factor instead of the off screen kill factor.
Has this "overkill resulting in lower scores" been discussed before?
