Remember in a four stroke engine the crank rotates twice for every rotation of the camshaft. 
180 degrees out will mean it opened with the piston on the way down and closed with it on the way up as usual. 90/270 degrees out would have been a very different story.
You'd hope they'd turn the engine over by hand first after any cambelt work? That way you should feel a lack of compression (or wonder why it doesn't turn.

UPDATE
Spoke to API and Subaru today, turns out that there was a 50/50 chance of the valves being bent dependant on which pulley they had put on wrong, luckily for me they got away with it.
Picked my car up earlier, smooth as it was when it went in and washed and polished too.
Thanks to everyone that replied, good to know there are people willing to offer advice.
no doubt I'll have more questions throughout my scooby learning curve.
