I glanced through Sherwin-White's Roman Citizenship. As far as I can tell, in your example the children would be citizens, as long as the centurion's wife was a citizen. It can get extremely complicated, but as a general rule of thumb citizenship depended upon the family, not the geography.
For instance, we have some pretty good evidence of Romans living and working in the Greek east before it came under Roman control. They were recognised as Romans outside of Roman territory. Your example would be basically the same thing.
