does it matter when the cams are removed what TDC (top dead center) the crank is at?

To my understanding cylinder 1 at TDC with the timing mark lined up, then installing the cams will then set what stroke the engine is on (which I figure it will set to TDC on compression on number 1).

FYI the engine is a F18D3, installed in a Daewoo Lacetti/Holden Viva. I have checked the flywheel and can'tcan not find any marks to indicate correct TDC.
