this is not true, in segment add youcan specify the direction:

adding the segment:
-------------
[root at vm-215 ~]# ipa topologysegment-add realm
Left node: vm-112.abc.idm.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com
Right node: vm-179.abc.idm.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com
Connectivity [both]: left-right
Segment name 
[vm-112.abc.idm.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com-to-vm-179.abc.idm.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com]: 
onedirect
-------------------------
Added segment "onedirect"
-------------------------
   Segment name: onedirect
   Left node: vm-112.abc.idm.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com
   Right node: vm-179.abc.idm.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com
   Connectivity: left-right


checking the segment:

[root at vm-215 ~]# ipa topologysegment-find realm
------------------
.....
------------------
   Segment name: onedirect
   Left node: vm-112.abc.idm.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com
   Right node: vm-179.abc.idm.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com
   Connectivity: left-right
