Yep.
The strap doesn't move - why would it move, especially when covered by a hood?
But if you find yourself in a situation where, somehow, through your hood, your strap moves, then simply roll the hood back and readjust. You need to do this anyway when doing mask drills.
...But if your strap is moving, consider readjusting your strap. If the issue is caused by a neoprene strap (not stretchy, thick and buoyant, "picky" with it's adjustment) then consider going back to what came with your mask when you bought it - silicone.

Also how is it a problem to wear it over the hood - isn't it just a question of adjustment?
It's not really a problem - it's that you can't lose your mask if it gets kicked off your face if the strap is under your hood.
It also doesn't require a redjustment of your mask strap when the water gets warm and you don't have to use a hood.
...And when that happens, you can cut off the excess strap and be even cleaner in the water than you already were.
This isn't really an issue of a PROBLEM that needs to be addressed - it's more of an issue that you have to pick one way or the other - and under the hood has it's advantages.

Actually, I would say it is imposible to get the strap in place _under_ my drysuit hood...
Well, that's definitely true - and one of the many reasons why not to use drysuits with built-in hoods. Vikings aren't exactly DIR, either.
But hey, if something other than what I wrote works for you, then post an article.
