It certainly won't affect the not-running reading, as the regulator regulates to 2.5 bar over whatever the manifold pressure is. I'm not experienced with high-altitude operation, but I wouldn't expect vacuum readings/manifold pressure to be greatly affected relative to ambient pressure. The gauge reference is ambient, of course.

To get an absolute reading of output pressure as seen by the fuel injectors, which is where the rubber meets the road, place the gauge in a strong sealed box and tee the box into the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator. Reading should be a constant 2.5 bar regardless of engine state.
