Yes, although it's not necessarily the face of the person. If someone
walks backwards from A to B, the direction of going is still towards
B, even though the person is facing towards A. The intrinsic
orientation of the going is from origin to destination. Many events in
which something moves have an intrinsic orientation, which is the
direction of movement. Other events with obvious intrinsic orientation
but not about movement are looking and talking.

Using "fa'a" with "klama" is somewhat redundant because "klama"
already has a slot for the destination (although sometimes the
direction of going can be different from the destination at some
points of the going, when the going is looked at in enough detail so
it does not happen in a straight line). But with "cadzu" or "bajra" it
makes perfect sense: "mi bajra fa'a do" -> "lo nu mi bajra cu se farna
do".
