Might be more useful if it showed the valve cut-away to give some perspective to the valve not being on the exterior. Around here they go right through the poured foundation (4-6"). A side view orientation will show how the faucet handle is oriented to the spigot.

Hose bibb or hose bib?

It’s hose bibb in the IRC and IPC. Your choice it’s a free world.
