Mark,
No, plate solving doesn't care about the rotation. All its doing is matching stars in the FOV and referencing a catalogue to look them up. Based on reference information, plate solving will then advise of the PA (position angle) of the camera's rotation - zero (0) being true north, 180 true south.

Cheers
