As far as I know, there is no standard bank angle it will shoot for beyond short turns, which would vary from airframe to airframe (and could possibly even be pilot selectable).
AHHH I see now. Interesting. I thought it just deflected toward the direction of turn only, didn't realize it was centered when you achieved the commanded roll rate.

Is the horizontal pitch bar the same way?
