no, it does matter where he is facing.

consider: what if you put the cursor directly 90 deg to his left or right?

when you smart cast, you have to have him facing a certain direction, other wise he will just flay like you described but you can completely miss your target and neither pull nor push them because they wont be in the flay.

Let's assume I am facing towards the bottom of the map. As I look at my screen, dragon is to my left, and nothing to my right.

Let's say I wanted to flay the drag (no pun intended). Would I:

A) Still facing downward, move my cursor onto the dragon, and smartcast E

B) Actually right click towards dragon to turn thresh from facing downward to facing the dragon (my left as I face the screen), then smartcast E

I'm sure I'm sounding dense here, but it seems like if I try to flay in a direction I am not facing, thresh will not turn that direction to flay when I smartcast (unless I do it manually). Instead, he will simply flay, in the direction he is facing when I hit E.
