Very interesting theoretical argument going on in this thread, but I still don't understand your question? Are you asking if its normal to have the DS spoke tension much higher than the NDS? If so, yes, its normal.

If you are asking whether your wheel is properly dished, then you have to use a dish tool to measure it, or measure the distance from the rim to one brake pad, flip the wheel over in the dropouts (so the cassette is on the left side of the bike) and see if the distance you measured is the same when the wheel is flipped.
