In fact, the form label works beautifully even if the label is separated by a ton of other stuff. You could put the label at the top of the page, then 100 paragraphs of text, 50 images, and 15 other form elements and labels if you wanted to , then, finally, the corresponding form element at the bottom of the page(not that I would recommend it). When you tab through the form elements, the correct label is read with the correct form element. However, when you listen to the page in linear format, nothing special happens. (And if the label were really that distant from its corresponding form element, this would, of course, be confusing, because the label would be read WAY before the form element.)
