Yes, left to right. One of the ways you can tell is that it reverses the air flow. If the fan is set clockwise, you will feel the air coming down. If the fan is counter clockwise, you won't feel as much 'cool' air coming down, it will all be going up.
Make sense?
The reason being is to keep the warm air in the room, instead of blowing it down and making it cooler. Heat rises and the fan helps distribute the heat.

No matter the direction of the fan the important thing is the direction the air is going.
Heat rises so in the winter you want the air to circulate from the middle of the room up to the ceiling causing the warm air to travel across the ceiling and down the walls. This increases your furnace's efficiency.
In the summer you want just the opposite. You want the air blow down in the middle of the room which causes the cool air laying on the floor (cold air drops) to rise up so you will stay cool.

In theory, you want downdrafts at the walls in winter
to keep the temperature more even.
In practice, as long as you keep the air in motion,
there's very little difference.

if it has a vertical switch than down would blow down and up would blow upwards. Upwards in winter
