Black holes tend to have spin and therefore orientation. When they are accreting enough of something they release gamma ray bursts from their poles. Again, orientation.

True, but I'm not really sure how a sphere faces anything. A surface normal at the equator pointing towards earth?

What does pointing mean under that level of gravity and over that much distance?

It typically refers to the magnetic field confluences at the poles being aimed towards us when used in this context.
