Could this be beneficial to relieve pressure in this area, or could the air get stuck under the rear of the car and create additional drag?

I can only tell you what I did.
On the Honda Civic the rear bumper is basically the back half of the wheel well, so that area is wide open. I used aluminum sheeting and directed the air more smoothly to the bottom of the bumper. That way it deals with that issue and gains some of the advantages of a rear bellypan. Of course, your car may be different.
