No, there is no any implied sorting. It will be sorted by lastname and 
that's it. If you need document order and then by lastname, use

<xsl:for-each select="/ROOT/item[position() &gt; 300 and position() &lt;
401]">
     <xsl:sort select="position()" data-type="number" order="descending">	
     <xsl:sort select="@lastname" data-type="text" order="descending">
     .. do my thing
     </xsl:sort>
</xsl:for-each>
