Clockwise / Positive / Right handed (typical threading on almost everything you use). Counter-clockwise / Negative / Left Handed.

That adapter is clockwise to counter-clockwise (positive to negative), you're good to get that.

EDIT: It would be nice to have a "standard" and only one type of rotation but the opposing threading needs to exist. "Where the rotation of a shaft would cause a conventional right-handed nut to loosen rather than to tighten." With all those pieces involved in a front end it would really suck to be tightening your suppressor/flash hider and have it loosen another more integral part of the barrel.
