no, ODE uses a right handed coord system, in both the dynamics and
collision. the choice of the 'up' axis is arbitrary, but the
handedness of the coordinate system is an important distinction.

i don't think you'll have to do any mapping - but remember to
set the world gravity vector appropriately for your 'down' direction.
