I think omitting "so" is correct but I'm not satisfied with this definition and I think it should be rewritten to be clearer.

Maybe split it into two sentences:

The user agent is responsible for recognizing when an input control layout corresponds with a standard layout, meaning gamepads with this layout can be used interchangeably with other gamepads with layouts that correspond with the same standard layout. The user agent SHOULD consider a layout to correspond with a standard layout if its input controls have approximately the same relative positions and orientations as input controls described in the standard layout.
