Yes I would always suggest players to stand for returning slightly more in their backhand half because of this reason and also you have much more reach naturally out to your forehand side with your arm if they play it over there. The most important thing with timing on fast serves is to not rush because many players make this mistake, taking them top of the bounce is fine or just slightly before. Fore a long side spin you may have to wait a touch longer because you need to judge the spin and also have a bi more time to add topspin and brush the ball more to counter act the side spin.
