Stupid question...
So, when it is a Right Zip or Left Zip, is that when you are looking at it? So basically the picture is a Left Zip?

Right and Left Zip is determined as you are laying in the bag not when you are looking at the bag. So the picture is a right zip because if you were laying in the bag the zipper would be on your right.

Those are good points by Kretzky. I would also add that many people buy zipper side by what hand is their dominant hand. I'm right handed, so I tend to want to go with a left hand zip.
