The direction can be influenced by design but not fully dictated by.... The hemispheres do dictate the direction. A passive drain in a tub has no influence and they are opposite for north and south.
You can spin the water the opposite way in a passive basin drain. It will always stop and turn the way it wants to after it reaches equilibrium.
