Your confusion may be coming from a bug in the Adobe
viewer (I assume that is what you are using.. you don't say).
Adobe have not implemented getCTM correctly.

getCTM should return the transformation from the current user
coordinates to the nearest viewport.

getTransformToElement returns the transformation from the
current user coordinate to the provided element.
