Although the optical axis not coincident with the mechanical axis, it doesn't necessarily mean that it is not parallel to it. If you have drift aligned your scope as the final polar alignment method, then it makes no difference! All axes have been taken into account for orthogonality, otherwise you would not be polar aligned and tracking on an object.
