Does my Annual Copyright License cover the copyright fee charged to my institution for documents received from document deliverers or through inter-library loan?

No, it does not. The copyright fee that document deliverers may charge you is usually intended to reimburse them for the fee that they presumably paid to the copyright rightsholder for the copy that they made and delivered to you to fulfill your order. While the Annual Copyright License does not cover that original copying act by the document deliverer or inter-library loan transaction, the license does cover your subsequent copying and distribution, internal to your institution, once you have obtained the lawful (copyright-cleared) original.
