The number 1012 is correct. The statement closest to a definition
of "virtual column" I could find in Vim's help is in ":help
wincol()":
The result is a Number, which is the virtual column of the
cursor in the window. This is counting screen cells from the
left side of the window. The leftmost column is one.
A 1000-character line displayed in an 80-column window will wrap 12
times. Each time it wraps, Vim inserts the single-character
'showbreak' string, increasing the number of virtual columns
occupied by the text by one each time.
This is most easily seen at the end of the first screen line, column
80. With the cursor at column 80, the status line shows "80". Type
l to move the cursor one character position to the right. The
status line now shows "82". The cursor has moved to character
position 81 but to virtual column 82 because that count includes the
">" at the left edge of the screen.
