Yes, if by 'east of me' you mean "to my right". I'm not a native english speaker but as far as I understand 'East of me' can also mean "towards the geographical east".
The direction "towards the geographical east" is not an absolute bearing number. The bearing of something "towards the geographical east" depends on your heading as well but can be calculated as 90degrees minus current heading.
