When you say 'wobble', do you mean something that you feel when you are riding, or something that you can visibly see when you spin the rear wheel..??
The shop should have balanced the wheel for you, it's part of the whole new tire process. I'd be a little bit annoyed if they tried to pass that line about not needing balancing off on me.
The wheel alignment marks aren't to be trusted. They might be good, they might be bad....who knows on your particular bike. Check out ninja250.org for some better tips on wheel alignment. I have the Motion Pro tool that allows you to sight a metal rod down the length of the chain, so you can visibly see the chain is straight....I totally ignore the axle alignment marks.
