If the axle was not square with the frame, the trailer would not track straight. 1" out of square would be quite evident just by looking in your mirrors but to be sure, you could have someone follow you and see if the trailer favors one side.
My right side tire is about 1/4" from the rear frame member. The left side is 2" from the rear frame member. The difference is the location of the frame member, not the location of the axle mount.
The way to check is simply to measure from the front, outer edge of the tire to the center tip of the trailer hitch. The distance should be exactly the same.
