I would have said the opposite.

Taking an extreme example.

With a 0 degree strut angle (vertical) and 88 degree angle at the axle, camber is -2 degrees at both zero and 90 degrees of strut rotation.

With a -2 degree strut angle and 90 degree angle at the axle, camber is -2 degrees at zero degrees of strut rotation but 0 degrees at 90 degrees of strut rotation. (The tire has rotated the 2 degrees, I think.)
