No, the ammeter does not go to ground. The ammeter indicates whether current is flowing into or out of the battery. The fact that its positive ground only changes the direction the ammeter indicates, not the path that the current follows.

One side of the ammeter should connect to the ungrounded battery terminal, in this case the negative terminal. The other side should connect to the battery terminal of the voltage regulator (or to the battery side of the cutout relay if that's what you have), and to all the various loads (lights & ignition).

Turn on the lights with the engine not running. The ammeter should show a discharge. If it indicates charge, simply swap the connections to the terminals on the back of the ammeter.
