just check the location of each valve in relationship to the intake manifold runners and the exhaust manifold ports. each valve lines up with it's respective intake or exhaust port.

Yes, it matters, or you won't have the correct lifters on the cam's base circle when you do the adjustment. The adjustment METHOD is the same on each valve, but you have to know which ones are the intakes and exhausts when you position the crank to make the adjustment.
