Absolutely you can use the laser level for that. It's an excellent way to check that. Most of them can be turned ''on end'' for a vertical line...or they already project one...and be used to strike a centerline down the fuse as well.
The laser level is perfect with the venessa machine. With the plane hanging on Venessa, I mounted my laser level on my tripod. this allows me to raise the level to align with the wing or the stabelizer.

I level the plane with the laser going right through the cord of the wing then I raise the level ( by cranking up the tripod ) and align it with the stab to check incedence. It was pretty close, not as bad as I suspected...
