Works with markers too:
inMarker = ["markername", _position] call BIS_fnc_inTrigger;

- As of ["Arma 3","Arma3",152,132676,"Stable",true] this command is still broken if checking against markers that have axisB larger axisA. To get around this if needed you can create your marker with the largest radius in axisA and rotate your marker by 90degrees.

Also works with [ pos, radius ]
[ [position, radius], player ] call BIS_fnc_inTrigger
