It's probably simplest to do so, yes.
90mm x 120mm is one page size (portrait)
120mm x 90mm is another (landscape)
The fact that they have the same area is of no consequence, I think.
I imagine it would only make sense to give special attention to landscape page sizes for larger screen devices... or if the content called for it for some special reason.

Would the ratio difference really matter? Minimal resizing of PDF pages ought to be of fairly little consequence/impact to the displayed page.

Well... though I am pro-individual-attention, I will readily admit that even blunt fixes like \sloppy and your own similar suggestion (that I cannot presently recall) still result in reasonably good looking output. So less than perfect probably will still translate to "pretty good" in most instances.
