corrrect as-is HAS's wrong way around?

[markturner1960]

Should all these be rotated 90 degrees so the entrance is in front of the taxiway leading into it?                                

Placement looks off to me as well.....

Not sure what location this is, but I'm pretty sure this is intended. This is supposed to allow one to taxi into the HAS without requiring the aircraft to be towed-back (or winched backwards) into the HAS by ground crew. You see the same on various of the Syria map airbase shelters.

Yes, it's a very tight turn

For some airframes, too tight

No I'm not, because the OP didn't share any information on where this screenshot was taken.. Pretty hard to check without that info...

But here's a screenshot with similarly positioned shelters, taken at H4 airbase (Syria map):

Exactly yes

Obviously, there might be differences between DCS map objects and reality, which could be because of timeframe difference (perhaps the timeframe of the concerning DCS map was based on a specific era and the actual situation has changed over the years), or simply because the DCS scenery is not modelled 100% as-built (in which case bug reports like this one are helpfull). Again, I never said the shelters mentioned in the OP are positioned correctly, I'm simply saying that some shelters on some bases are in fact positioned like this (as you can see on the above Google sattelite image).

It would help if the OP mentioned where this screenshot was taken, so that we/ED do not have to do the research ourselves by zooming in on each airfield. Additionally, we would need to know which era ED's Iraq map represents (I'm not sure if perhaps this was already shared at some point somewhere).
