DM will automatically stack the physical and logical sector sizes based
on the devices that are assembled into the DM device.

So if you create an LV on a 4K device the associated DM device will
report the same physical and logical block size.  You can verify as much
by looking at:

/sys/block/dm-X/queue/physical_block_size
/sys/block/dm-X/queue/logical_block_size

There are more details about IO limits stacking here:
