That's the way I've seen it, if there are closets, lavs, or galleys that offset the bulkhead from one side to the other, then the rows behind will be staggered also. Otherwise, staggering rows on each side just for the sake of staggering just wastes space.

WN got rid of the rear facing seats, I think it has been a couple of years now.
