From what I can see, this is likely something that needs to be 
implemented in NVDA (similar to what Orca on Linux has). NVDA has a 
mechanism for that, but it's currently not implemented for NVDA's 
LibreOffice app module.

If you want to report an issue to keep track, you can do so in the NVDA 
issue tracker:
https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/

From what I can see, LibreOffice sends a focus event as it should, but 
for some reason this doesn't cause NVDA to announce the newly focused 
cell when jumping between cells using Tab or Shift+Tab.

What works for me, though, is announcement (including the row/column 
number) when switching between cells using the arrow keys, e.g. Up/Down 
to move a line up/down or Left/Right to move a character. This may mean 
that you'll have to press these buttons multiple times until you end up 
in the next cell, though.
What also works for me is using Ctrl+Down, which moves one line down, 
and jumps to the next column to the right instead of the next row below 
in case the last line of text in a Writer table cell has already been 
reached.

Maybe this can be helpful as a workaround for now at least?
