No I think the orientation of the earth changed relative to its axis. Earth is constantly changing and its density is not evenly distributed, so you see changes in its orientation with its axis. If we suddenly moved (just imagine) 10% of Earth's mass to a band forming a great circle from N45°E0° directly to its antipode at S45°E180°, Earth's axis would shift to make this its new equator.
This wiki page could be worded a little more clearly though, it sounds like the axis could have shifted by ~25°? Or Asia could have migrated due to the shift of the axis ~174 million years ago? 25° change in axis would be quite dramatic.
