I've just tested this in 18.10 (Firefox) and natural scrolling is
correctly applied to both vertical and horizontal movement.
Also, I think your statements are confused:
* "when I move my fingers up, the content scrolls down". Yes, we call
that scrolling "down" (the viewport) so the content is moving "up" which
is the same direction as your fingers.
* "when I move my fingers right, the content also moves right. I would
expect it to move left with Natural Scrolling turned on." Yes, correct
behaviour with natural scrolling when moving your fingers right is for
the content to move right (and the scrollbar/viewport moves left).
"Natural scrolling" means the page is virtually stuck to your fingers,
so the scroll direction will always be the opposite direction to your
finger movement.
So it seems like everything is working. Is there a particular app you
find isn't working?

Title:
Natural scrolling is only applied in one direction (vertical)
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
(Apologies if this is the wrong place to report this - I tried to find
the right place but the Ask Ubuntu people were not that helpful
unfortunately. [1])
I've turned on Natural Scrolling for my touchpad. This works fine
vertically: when I move my fingers up, the content scrolls down, and
vice versa. However, when I move my fingers right, the content also
moves right. I would expect it to move left with Natural Scrolling
turned on.
