If you are unsure if your copy is the one you obtained, you have bigger
issues. ;)

An MD5 hash *will* however verify (to a fair extent, modulo intended
attacks) if the copy you have is identical to the copy that was originally
shipped (if they don't match, it shows that the copy you obtained isn't
the one originally shipped).

Yes, I'm splitting hairs here - but in cryptography, such hairs are often
the basis of the security.  So it's important to keep straight which bits
are which....
