Yes and no. Just because the scope is mounted on a 45 degree mount, doesn't mean that the scope itself is at 45 degrees. In fact, I would still keep its axes horizontal and vertical, so horizontal and vertical adjustments are correct.
HOWEVER - being mounted off to the side, realize that when you change distance, you will absolutely have to come up with new zeros for each distance. Even if vertical zeros are close (like most guns sighted in at 25 yards will be very close, vertically, at 75-80 yards. But your horizontal zero will definitely change. A sight offset to the left and sighted in at 25 yards will shoot to the right at longer distance, and the difference can be substantial.
