Bikes: yes!

"Rear specific" means that from the side its an asymmetric looking bag. The leading lower corner is usually rounded off a bit to provide clearance for shoe heel. And the trailing corner usually has a big pocket, maybe with some rear facing reflective material attached. There's a left and right bag in the pair and you wouldn't want to swap them since they wouldn't fit too well.

Typical example:
