Does this only work if you’re exactly aligned in front of the hoop? (eg Free-Throw Line)

No it's optimized to work from anywhere in the court, although he didn't say what distribution he used.

Actually from the video, he miscalculated so it's optimized only when the basket is farther away then usual from the backboard. I would theorize that this may have made the solution work better, albeit unintentionally.
