A very little lateral movement relative to the rotor is going to be OK, Rotational movement isn't. Ideally you'd have none of either unless you have a floating caliper where you should only have lateral.
Lateral movement makes allowance for tolerances in build, if it wasn't there you'd be having to shim the caliper/rotor.
The caliper can also take out a little lateral offset but you want this to be as small as poss.
