Default Wheel specified for each corner?

On the wheels CP-035 that I've got 2 days ago, there are stickers on each wheel to indicate which corner they should be mount. (left-rear in the picture below), is that an indicator for the tires or the wheels itself? (never heard of a wheel have to be mounted on a specific corner before, but then I could be wrong.) any thoughts?

From what limited knowledge I have on this subject:

If it is a unidirectional tread design (I think that's the correct word) then the tire is only designed to roll in one direction, therefore, putting it on "backwards" is detrimental to the tire's performance. I am assuming that you received these with the tires mounted & balanced on the wheels.

Is the sticker from the wheel manufacturer? If so, then it wouldn't have anything to do with the tires that are mounted. Maybe it's just a way of keeping a set of 4 together.
