Basically, yes. As with the tower illustration, the arrow would have to travel a bit over 100 yds, but you wouldn't have to allow for the arrow to drop over that distance even though it travels that far. The term I was looking for is paralell distance instead of straight. Shooting from a stand won't require adjusting for the actual distance the arrow travels, at least not at a hunting distance. If you were shooting from a very high stand and taking a very long shot, there might be a little bit more drop because the arrow would be in the air a fraction longer than on a straight shot, but I can't picture any situation where anyone would need to take a shot like this. We're not going to shoot that far hunting, or be that high, and I've never heard of a course with a target set out like that.
