It depends in the sense that these subdirectives look into that part of the
message that acted as the trigger. I.e. if the trigger was [...] then they
act on msgstr, and if trigger was {...} they act on msgid.

Other than that, I can't see a problem from your examples; or more
precisely, I find them strange. E.g. this rule:

  [\bactiv]i
  valid !after="idade"
  ...

reads "when the message contains a word starting with 'activ', pass it if
'activ' is not after 'idade'." That is, pass anything except 'idadeactiv'
(which is also self-contradictory, since the trigger matched at word
boundary). Perhaps the intention was (Google tells me 'actividade' is a
noun):

  [\bactiv]i
  valid before="idade"
  valid msgid="\benable"
  hint="«activar» traduce a «enable»"

which reads "when the message contains a word starting with 'activ', pass it
if 'activ' is before 'idade'." That is, ignore the noun, proceed only if it
was the verb (and then require 'enable' as inverse translation).
