Yes, but that's only because the threads in the nut are on the
inside. If you hold the nut steady and turn the bolt around to
thread it into the nut from the other side, the bolt moves in the
opposite direction. That's because the bolt's threads are on the
outside. Some sort of dimensional transformation matrix is what
causes this, I think.
