Logic tells me that I should be able to focus on something 1km away and also a star without having to adjust the back focus as per my 9.25 which has a lot higher magnification than the SkyWatcher.

The 9.25 has a lot more focus travel with moving mirrors (I'm.guessing this is how you ficused) and so that may be why you were still able to focus.
My recommendation would be to point at the moon tonight and without your camera in the image train, see where the scope form an image of the moon, how far behind the flattener.
