Yes and no. The bow should be tilted back away from you a bit (the shaft away and the hair closer.) But you should draw the bow at a 90 degree angle to the strings -- it takes a bit of getting practice to be able to maintain that angle the entire length of the bow.

And the hair itself should be about halfway between the bridge and the end of the fret board. (At least for now.)
