Does phasing trigger ETB effects?

Does Phasing Trigger ETB or LTB Effects? No, it doesn't. For the same reason that auras and equipment don't fall off during phasing, ETB (enter the battlefield) and LTB (leave the battlefield) triggers don't go off. Because the permanent didn't change zones, nothing left or entered the battlefield.
