No, you need to add that yourself afterwards. If you calculate your desired course from the actual map - let's say you want to fly HDG 180, you need to fly 170° in game and via compass and / or gyro. Your instruments show magnetic North whereby the map is based on geographic North.
Sorry to confuse you with the compass on the pic being out of synch - I simply copied & pasted part of bigger post on RAF navigation. Normally, you would turn the rim to match the T 100%-ly. But with the mirror method you don't have to touch your compass at all...
If you're more serious about navigation, I strongly recommend getting a Cliffs of Dover map made by VO101_Tom and printing it out.
