Concrete pad is poured before framing and often by different crews. Porch roofs are an extension of roof so a 1/4" variable at framing, may multiply at a perpendicular distance.
Posts are placed relative to the roof structure. If their registration isn't symmetrical on the pad, this can be address when building out the deck.
Not a big concern, but something to stay on top of.
