In LuaTeX, when \pagedirection is right to left then \pagerightoffset is
used instead of \hoffset to position the page. I attached a patch and an example
that demonstrates the problem.

Subject: [PATCH] consider pagerightoffset in luatex with rtl languages
This patch will calculate \pagerightoffset when LuaTeX is used
and the page direction is right to left. It is important as in
this case LuaTeX will use this register, and not \hoffset to
position the page.
