No, the issue of deck height is important, because you don't want the top of your piston hitting your cylinder head! (or even getting too close). Plus, as was mentioned, it does affect your compression ratio, and all of the other calculations as well.
Deck height is defined as the height from the top of the piston to the cylinder head. If you're using flat-top pistons, it's real easy to measure. I have a picture in the book on this...
