No, that tag is always in the docx, even if the user pressed enter. So it is robust. But unfortunately you have to do it in the docx, since calibre uses xpath on the intermediate html it creates (at least I think it does this).
But I would advise against a fixed layout, if there are not really very important reasons for it. And even then, why not just a pdf? Or do fixed layout epubs have an advantage above a pdf? As far as I know fixed layout epubs are epub 3. Nearly no reader supports that, but most support pdf.
