Doesn't really matter whether he will remember that specific notion or not, since it still doesn't negate the fact how Phantom Zone works, since nullification aspect of it is a fundamental part of the dimension, like laws of physics are to our world.

We've already seen Rogol in the PZ(where he fought/killed Nuclear Man), and he made no mention of feeling depowered or whathaveyou.
And how is this evidence that he was not weakened by PZ? Something not being mentioned doesn't automatically translate that it doesn't happen at the moment, you don't need to spell out beans in every issue with PZ when DC lore has continuosly already explained how Phantom Zone works, just like it doesn't need be mentioned every single time that Superman is a solar battery, we already know those notions.
It's like seeing some character explaining Speed Force, and not mentioning that it is fundamentally interwined with Multiverse or that it can allow you to time travel, and then say that since it was not mentioned therefore SF is not interwined with Multiverse or can't time travel in that specific moment, or whenever someone enters Dormammu's dimension and just calls it dimension without mentioning that it is magic type, and therefore since magic part was not mentioned therefore it is not magical, which is a bit fallacious type of argumentation to say the least.
In short, fundamental aspect of something not being mentioned doesn't act as contradictory stipulatiation or makes the said aspect vanish.

Neither did Superman(who is also in the PZ) -- the only thing he mentioned is that his powers would slowly begin to wane the longer he was away from the sun:
Again, him not mentioning PZ effects doesn't automatically trasnlate that it doesn't happen, the nullification forces are part of Phantom Zone's laws, mentioned or not, it's irrelevant, just like we don't need something of lore to be mentioned every single time, when we already know the fundamentals of those notions, in this case we know how Phantom Zone's laws works, that part is unchangeable, thus it does not need to be mentioned overall.
As for his statement, well yeah, his powers do wane without the sun, but nothing contradicting the fundamental aspect of the Phantom Zone.
Simple example here, - remember when New 52 Wonder Woman defeated New 52 Mongul who was trapped inside the Phantom Zone, you know the same Mongul who was handily taking on New 52 Superman, so by default we already know the clear difference between Diana's and Mongul's power-levels, yet the one with superior power lost, which doesn't make sense, except the fight happened in PZ with Mongul being there longer than Diana, to which the forces of PZ did play certain effect on the outcome overall, it doesn't need to be mentioned there that Mongul was weakened for us to understand that he was weakened, since we know how PZ works, and on top of that him losing to someone weaker than himself.

Don't get me wrong, though: I sincerely hope that Rogol doesn't get a feat of this magnitude... But this IS Bendis we're talking about. The man is just terrible.
Bendis being Bendis is nothing new, it is expectable, but i don't think he will make Rogol beat Superman's villains, more like he will make a pact with them (with lies of course).
