Beginner question

Hey! So I just got into trad climbing recently and did a course which was brilliant and I learned a lot! I am however kind of confused about one thing I cant seem to find alot of solid answers on. In sport climbing its important to face the gate of the rope side carabiner away from your intended direction of travel to mitigate the risk of the rope laying over the gate in the event of a fall and the rope potentially becoming un clipped from that draw. My question is, does the same rule apply to the carabiner on the cams sling or an alpine draw?
