Does the direction of the H2O pulley matter?

Im curious as weather or not the rotation of the water pump pulley really even matters. Normally it spins counter clockwise.....Can't it spin clockwise and still work the same as coolant flow is concerned?

No.the rotation must be kept in the original direction.

Its an impeller wheel, it has a direction in which it moves the water. To spin it backwards you would be trying to reverse the direction of coolant flow.
