I have never in my time doing this or training guys ever see someone measure and provide a read out of a vehicles alignment with a steering wheel turned.

Total toe tells you if the wheels are rolling parallel to each other. Maybe you are right and the steering wheel is a little crooked when going straight down the road. If that is the case OP should know. Either way the steering wheel being crooked wouldn't affect tire wear.
Its also possible that they didn't have the steering wheel exactly centered when checking it. I know when I got my last alignment the toe changed after they moved the car and rechecked it. They told me something similar and had to mess with the steering wheel to get each side to 0 out.
Its up to the OP if he wants to get it aligned just to do it anyways but my opinion is its not needed in this case.
