Modern acorn style lug-centric wheels are indeed self-centering, due to the conical shape of the lug nuts and conical shoulder of the lug holes in the wheel.
The least self-centering of any wheel are those old style aluminum and magnesium wheels that used the mag wheel style, squared shoulder holes and long shank nuts with washers under the nut shoulder. I still have an old set of American Racing Outlaw aluminum wheels in 16.5 size with square shoulder holes and all the washer style nuts to go with them. They're probably from the 1970's or early 80's.
