I'm planning on doing it myself install of this rear vented stove into a corner of a room. Is it permissible to use a 45° stove pipe in order to connect to the wall thimble

Yes, but stoves do best if there is sufficient vertical rise before any elbowing.
Two 45s work better than one 90 for draft.
 
In this case, going straight back to a 45 heading into the wall thimble is the best approach. If you go up first, you'd need another 90 plus a 45 which would be more restrictive.

I would strongly recommend switching the stove to top vent and going up with it 2' or so instead of straight out. That way when you switch stoves you don't need to change everything
