Yes. That is also the reason they will not try to move the barge in unison with the rocket even if that was possible. Barge is trying to representing land. The maneuver made by the rocket to land at an angle is intentional. The rocket wasn't trying to correct some unknown balance issue with it. The reason for too fast sideways speed came from the problem with the rockets response time, signal->engine. The big sideways maneuver is made so the rocket will not hit the barge at high speeds in case of any problems.
