It doesn't matter what symbols are on the buttons.
Until you played a PC port of it then it tell you to press A to say "Hey we should be friend" , but you use a Switch controller which makes your character said "[Sarcasm] Hey you should learn about Ligma".
But the assumption with PC games usually would be xbox controller. Switch controllers don't have native USB support, so any PC usage is using the xbox controller protocol. So A is on the bottom, unless the game dev found some special way to check and detect for a swich controller specifically. The overwhelming majority don't.
Same thing with playstation controllers, although slightly more devs have found ways to check for them specifically.
I use a horipad-brand wired switch-style controller on PC. I use it because it fits better in my hands/ergonomics. I have a post-it note on my monitor reminding me of the button layout.
