If the information on the Numista link is accurate, this coin was intended to be minted having medal alignment. If it not aligned properly as intended by the mint, your coin would be considered to have a die rotation error. Perhaps check with others possessing the same coin for comparison to see if your coin is indeed an exception.
So if one other coin is completely aligned then it is indeed a die rotation error? And does it make it any valuable? Also, I have seen a few different coins like that, how to find out if this is how they intended to make or done in an error?
You can always check with the Lahore mint as to their official intent for this coin. The official mintage is not even indicated on the Numista page. Then you can compare your example to others to see if yours is indeed unusual. There could be many coins like yours or very few. This could be investigated by you. Depending on total mintage and die rotation errors relative to total mintage, that may influence whether this error adds additional value. We have a case of many unknowns about this subject at this time.
What I can say is that some mints are stricter and more concerned with quality control than others. I have no opinion or judgement on the Lahore mint because I simply don't know what their priorities are. Sometimes mints are under pressure by their governments to produce volumes of currency for the sake of economic activity and small errors are overlooked for the sake of production. Other times it is simply an oversight by the mint workers.
nah, a quarter of the countries I have have opposite alignment. just standard convention in some places.
If by opposite alignment you mean coin alignment (180°) you're obviously right; many (most?) countries use that. This coin is supposed to be medal alignment (0°) but is actually about 75°. This is standard convention in what places??

This must be just in Pakistan, I have other new Pakistani coins with few degrees' tilt. I'm sure these suckers don't really care about being professionals. Perhaps their equipment is bust and the authorities want them to continue like this? Because of them this ‘die rotation error’ is going to lose it's value because almost all their coins are like this.

I was referring to the design requirement not the ability of the mint to meet the requirement. It's like saying that grease blocked die errors are not errors since the mint produces them often.
