They are just as you speculate. For right handed and left handed people. Right handed saws have the blade on the right to keep the blade further away from you while using it for safety reasons. Left handed saws, blade on the left. Problem is with this setup is that you can't see what you're cutting while using the saw.
With that said, many professional right handed carpenters prefer to use left handed saws so they can more accurately see what they are cutting. Same goes for lefties preferring to use right handed saws.
