Checking more, the 120vac was present on the wire side of the breaker, even with breaker kicked to off position, to me, this was the exit side of the breaker.
You know they look similar, if not the same, as you find in a household panel.

So I wonder, does the breaker still work the same, with the direction of electric flow (current), going in either direction?


Not totally sure, as why I ask, even though the answer seems evident.

This is normal. The MAIN breaker feeds the breaker box buss so it is hot on the wire side but cold on the buss side when off. This is the opposite of distribution breakers which clip onto a hot buss but have the wire side cold when off.
