Well, the eclass docs *literally* state the answer:

https://devmanual.gentoo.org/eclass-reference/wxwidgets.eclass/

"""
Call this in your ebuild to set up the environment for wxGTK in
src_configure.
"""

So I would imagine that packages calling it elsewhere should switch to
doing it in src_configure...

According to the eclass implementation, it sets a variable that the
wxwidgets eselect wrapper then respects as an override to ignore
whatever has been eselected, and use the overridden version.

I would, anyways, assume that the eclass does what it's supposed to:

"""
More specifically, this eclass controls the configuration chosen by the
${ESYSROOT}/usr/bin/wx-config wrapper.
"""
