Morphology
The meaning 'an imagined world with magical or supernatural elements' is directly derivable from combining 'fantasy' (fiction involving magic/supernatural elements) with 'realm' (a domain or world), forming a straightforward noun+noun compositional phrase. This is a common, cross-linguistic way to name fictional worlds, so an average B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Fantasy realm joins fantasy, meaning make-believe and imagination, and realm, an old word for 'kingdom'. So it creates the idea of a made-up kingdom with magic, which is why it means 'an imagined world with magic'.
