Yes, the Max Ascending sudoku rules refer to the direction that the clue is "pointing at."

For Big-Small Japanese Sums, one example is the clue "8 14 6 7" referring to the left-most column. Because it is a column clue, these clues refer to sums of blocks of the digits 5,6,7,8,9. (The "big" digits.) The blocks are separated by the "small" digits 1,2,3,4. If you look at the completed grid, you see the blocks 8, 9+5, 6, and 7, each separated by some small digits.
