For a 1-hex figure, yes, after they stop, at the end of their movement, they can face any direction they want.

Not for multi-hex creatures though. Multi-hex creatures can't change facing and still occupy the same hexes. For example, the horse. If it spins on it's front legs, it's rear-end is essentially shifting around the front. I consider each of those shifts of the rear-end to cost 1 MA. This is why I said earlier that a horse burns up 3 MA to do a 180. His rear-end (or front-end if he pivots from the rear) has to shift 3 times to turn 180.
