Yes generally you would be using a rorqual in the same system as your mining fleet, in 0.0 we generally tend to have POSs at all possible mining systems we can drop our rorquals into for protection.
Also Robin is correct as well, Boosting is system wide to those in your fleet as long as your Fleet Hierarchy is setup properly.
So what is the rorqual's 250km tractor beam for? Can you position a POS 249km away from a belt and just tractor cans to you?
Sorry dude, I wish POS were as good as that. They can _only_ be placed next to moons.
One thing that would really improve EVE would be a complete revamp to POS - placing them anywhere, allowing them to have public access options, making them look a lot better, etc
