Had a good look at this the other day. The FMS on our 733's definitely assumes you are on the magenta track (abeam your current pos'n), moving towards the R/W, regardless of your current track.

This was indicated by us seemingly us intercepting our profile from above, by being downwind & in level flight. The altitude the profile wanted us to be at corresponded perfectly with the ILS/DME distances on the plate.
