1st car in my name

been pointed towards the sky since at least before I bought the car because I don't remember ever replacing it. I just want to make sure that now I finally have a filter that actually is filtering the air.

Not necessarily, should point away from air inlet.

If you turn it around now, all the crap on the outside will then be on the inside of the filter and get sucked into the cabin!

Maybe time to get a new one and fit that one correctly?

Where on earth do you get that from?

He's saying the exact same thing you did.

Isn't he saying the exact opposite?

Gary's been around for awhile, so I'm assuming he means the source of the incoming air. In which case, the arrow should point away from it. Since all cars don't share a common route, "towards the car" and "towards the sky" are not always applicable.

So should the arrow be pointing in towards where the air is flowing into the heating system correct?

Yes, Luvnhate probably said it best, arrow points in the direction of airflow.
