My understanding was that all altitudes, msa and below should be corrected. Which would include the platform altitude.
If the whole approach is being done procedurally then this is straightforward, however if under radar control one needs to establish whether or not the controller is taking into account the low temp. In the uk for example they don't. If you are concerned about terrain clearances then you should correct and tell atc of you intentions.
