For example, the 1st instance had mixes the data into destination buffer, but 2nd instance haven't complete the mix operation. Would the data in destination buffer be playing by HW? Or there is some mechanism to guarantee the data will be played after all mix operation is done.

You need to ensure that the user configures the plugin stack appropriately to ensure that your plugin is the last one that's run, you can't do this purely from within your plugin. Even if that's done you'd also need to rely on them not configuring any DSP in the hardware which would disrupt things.
