No, POV-Ray's rendering engine doesn't really care what the dimensions
of your image are. It only cares about what you tell it the aspect
ratio is. If you render with a default camera (4/3 ratio) to a square
output image, you'll get an image that's horizontally squished.
In your camera object, you should see:
sky -y
right -4/3*x
This sets POV-Ray's coordinate system to match Ldraw: -y is up, and -x
is to the right. If you want a square image, you would use:
sky -y
right -x
If you wanted a widescreen image, you would use:
sky -y
right -16/9*x
