I would think no. I just built mine the other night and tested both to check it and it worked both ways. Seems to be just like a splitter

Either point can act as input or output.  You are better off connecting each pigtail directly to the board and "keeping the stub" short.

As Rick points out, we are all "free to update the manuals" it shouldn't be one person with this responsibility.
