That is a difference, but only for adjacent figures. I'd never noticed the difference before and the way you described it, I thought you meant facing never matters for thrown spells.

From ITL 136, Thrown Spells (emphasis mine):

Quote:
A thrown spell may be cast at another figure, at the wizard
himself, or at some object, depending upon the spell and the
desired effect. A thrown spell can be cast on the wizard’s own
hex, on any adjacent hex, or on any hex in front of the wizard
at the time he casts it.
