Yes, it does matter. The foul must be after the change of possession.
8-2-2 is printed correctly. Per the NFHS site, it should read:
8-2-2 Correction Replace with: If during a touchdown-scoring play, a foul by the opponents of the scoring team occurs on a play where there is no change of possession; or a foul by the opponents of the scoring team occurs after the change of possession, if there is a change of possession, the scoring team may accept the results of the play and have the penalty enforced from the succeeding spot.
