This is correct as the strap is looped around the neck of the bottle and then should be returned. See the sequence of images in the article bottle cage.
FAQ
Why is the top strap on the bottle cage the wrong way round?
How to attach the side bag to the Sportster? Applies to models Clean, Skull black, Diva, Eos, Flame.
Remove side cover. Fastening slots at the top with strap around the frame behind the cover + lower strap around the frame under the battery box.
Where can the bottle cage be attached?
Basically where there is space. On the fork front, on the frame tube in front of the engine, on the sissy bar, crash bar or even on your saddlebags.
How to attach the bottle cage?
Use the two surrounding straps here. Thread the straps through to the point where the straps come around the frame tube.
Hold the bottle holder centrally in front of the mounting point, place the straps around the tube and thread the straps into the 2 halves of the holder and close them at the front. For large pipe diameters, additional straps are needed. Strong cable ties can also help here.

No, where no bottle cage is included in the standard, there is no basic bottle cage holder.
