Unless they also put the fence up backwards, that’s taken from inside the fence. So either that’s your own fence, or you trespassed to take the photo. Or this story could all be totally fake, who’s to say?
Looks like they each have their own fence. The neighbor has a taller fence. You can see the top of OP’s fence near the bottom of the picture.
People often orient wooden fences so the nice side of it faces inward towards their yard.
Side note:
Sometimes people make their fence with every other slat on the opposite side, so there is no front and back. Both sides are identical. I don’t like how those fences look. It just makes both sides look bad, and you can see through them when approaching from an angle.
I know some places have laws or guidelines that tell you to put the flat pretty side facing out, but every fence I’ve ever seen, including the one I’m looking at out the window of this business I’m at now has the flat side facing the property and the ugly side faces out
No. You just put the nice part facing the one who paid for it and so you can paint it and keep it looking nice. Let the neighbours have the ugly side. They can build their own fence if they want.

I don’t want to alarm you but it sounds like someone has been trying to fence you in.
