Here's what the FCOM has to say on crosswind landings in the landing SOP (may be slightly different for different carriers ...):

Routine use of into wind aileron is not recommended, because sidestick deflection commands the roll rate until touchdown.
I. e. as the airbus pilots here have said, roll control stays in normal law until touchdown, "flare mode" superimposes a nose-down movement over the pitch stick deflection (load-factor demand).
(ie stick central=wings level)?
That is not quite accurate. Stick centered means, bank angle stays where it is up to 33 degrees, or returns to 33 degrees if it was more.
