I have replaced the timing chain on my 1997 Nissan Hardbody XE, and I am confused about the next step.

I have seen a couple sites where they say that the oil pump oil hole and dimple on the spindle must be lined up even after they have been put back in. Yes, after you have put the spindle/oil pump assembley in and the spindle rotates due to the distributor drive gear, it should look like the pic below?
Are they full of it, or should I start pulling my hair out now?

Aaand of course after tons of additional searching I finally Gump my way into the answer, but cannot delete the post now.
