Yes, the Victron Energy Orion XS 12/12-50 non-isolated DC-DC charger can be grounded at either battery provided they share a common ground. Read more about selecting an isolated vs. non-isolated DC-Dc charger here.
The ground for the Orion XS needs to be on the load side of the shunt. The battery is the only thing that gets attached to the battery side of the shunt.
You need to install a fuse on both positive cables. One close to the start battery and one close to the house battery.
