Default LM and CSM flight paths

After separation [in lunar orbit] some photos [taken from the LM] show the CSM closer to the moon [which may be a bit backwards intuitive for the layman since the LM was headed for the surface but was farther away in said photograph(s)] e.g., this photograph.

While in orbit, did the LM and CSM stay in the same relative position to each other for a given orbit? Meaning, at 90 degrees around [from when the CSM was closer to the moon] would the LM then be closer to the moon?
