I looked in the HBOL and it lists several 13" and 14" tyre sizes as possibles, and for space saver spares it lists either 135/80R13 or
So should I actually have the 14" 135/80 spare, not the 13" which I've got?

A 14" tyre is a bit of a sloppy fit on a 13" wheel, and doesn't tend to seal very well.

Oh, and forgot to say...
Does it actively say 135/80 or just 135 13 with the 80 presumed? 135/90 13 would be bob-on match for 165/65 14.
As it is only a 'get you to the garage emergency use only spare' it will make no real world difference.

Obviously (well I thought it was obvious, anyway), if I really ought to have the 14" spare then I change the whole spare wheel, not just the tyre. And yes the 135/80R13 is the actual marking on the tyre.
Surely he is asking if he should have a 14" wheel AND tyre?
See my "I thought that was obvious" comment ;-)

Are you two American?
I doubt it, they asked about "Tyres".
Yanks would talk TIRES!
