Had he been dealing with his condition responsibly he would have taken his potion a long time before he saw Peter on the map (he didn't see Sirius with the kids in the same room, the map only shows part of the tunnel, and doesn't show into the Shack). The kids headed for Hagrid's at 21:00. By the time they were on their way to the Shack it was even later. How late can moonrise be in the Scottish Highlands, even if we allow for daylight saving and mountains? Earlier that year he takes the potion when Harry visits him, long before students' curfew. And he was looking at the map in the first place because he was expecting some kind of trouble that would require intervention, so why not take the potion before the kids get anywhere where they might be in trouble?
Also, since he knew he was about to transform he shouldn't have allowed Harry to free him from his bindings. Severus knew what he was doing when he bound him.
So no, that night Remus was not dealing with his condition responsibly.
