I think "supposed to be" is implying some intent that isn't there. Are there some Omega employees who line them up? Yes that's very possible, but I've had a lot of watches in my shop that have never been serviced before (so I'm the first to do anything on the watch) that were not aligned, so they certainly came from the factory this way.
Omega publishes something called "Work Instructions" - these 80 or so documents (more being added all the time) detail instructions of how work on Omega's should be done. In addition there are often videos showing various procedures, and one example I watched one this past week detailed how to fit the new NAIAD case backs on the new ceramic divers. In that video they give specific instructions how to line up the case back, as there are 3 ways it can be lined up, each 120 degrees apart. They clearly illustrate that 2 of the 3 ways are not right, and show you where specific text must be lined up when the case back is installed.
In all Omega's work instructions, there is nothing that says the logo in these crystals must be lined up a certain way. Knowing how anal they can be, if it was something they paid attention to, it would be outlined in some instruction somewhere.
If it's lined up from the factory, it's either the guy at Omega who is anal enough to do this even though he doesn't have to, or it's random luck.

Now I'm disappointed that my Sapphire Sandwich doesn't have a logo in the crystal, can only imagine what it would take to have one without weakening the crystal. The applied logo on the face is very nice, but only visible when the chrono hand is running. On the other hand, on my wrist over 2 years, literally flawless, love wearing it every day, it's a delight. Did do the clasp update, worth every penny.
