In asymmetric flight you are sideslipping, so heading and track do differ.

No rule of thumb, depends on aircraft type and flight regime. As NSF says, in practical terms it's not really relevant. Just control the aeroplane and when you can use whatever nav aids are available to sort out track if IMC.
