Answers.Text: Yes, I believe that is the case. Don't have one to test myself but you could test yourself by attaching a motor. I believe the motor will turn in different directions when pressing the different paddles.

Comments.Text: Since the lights turn on for both directions, you would need a way to only pass current to them if the current is running in one direction. I'm not sure if there is a way to do that.

  With only using existing non-modified LEGO parts a mechanical solution with a servo motor, two polarization switches and cluch gears is thinkable, but this is all really cumbersome...
  
  It's a bit ironic really, there's a bit of (trivial) circuitry in the 2x2 black brick before the wires of the LED lights split that causes the LEDs to work no-matter the polarization, because LEDs by their nature only work when the correct polarization is applied...
  
  One solution would be to modify the circuitry in the 2x2 plate.
  
  Schematics are here:

  What basically needs to happen is that the diode bridge is removed and the C1 wire is soldered through to the + side of the leds (to the resistors) and the C2 wire to - side ...
