Never heard that you always aim low. I guess if you think the deer is alert and you think it will jump the string, you may want to aim a little low in the vital area. I always try to aim dead center of the vitals when I shoot.

Bernd at your waist not at your shoulder and aim a little lower in the vital area. No matter how quiet you think your bow is a deer will drop faster than your arrow is traveling. Another thing is the angle of your shot. the closer you are to the animal the more angel you will have and less view of the vital area.I like to keep my shots at about 15 to 20 yds.

Welcome to the forums Matt! Just to elaborate, "jumping the string" is just the opposite, they will duck or crouch, not always though!
Dont just look at the front of the deer, what I mean is know where your arrow will exit.
Practice shooting angles!!!!!
Take good shots!!!!!

If I follow you question correctly, the answer is yes, you should aim a bit low from a stand. This is assuming you have sighted in your bow while shooting on the ground. When shooting from the ground your drop off is a bit more than when shooting from a height of 18ft. Your best bet is to practice from tree stand height at a couple distances to get an idea of how much you need to compensate.
