In general, byte-to-position is meant to be used only for converting
between byte and character positions of text in Emacs buffers.

For byte offsets in external text we have bufferpos-to-filepos, but
that requires us to know the encoding of the external text.  We need
to find a reasonable way of getting that.  Suggestions and patches
welcome.
