It is from the respect of the monitored interface. If you are looking at an interface on router A, then traffic flowing over the wire towards that interface is "IN", and traffic leaving the interface toward the wire is "OUT". Your use of "subnet" is somewhat confusing in this context. If you have two boxes A and B, and MRTG is running on A, then traffic from A to B is "OUT" (it is leaving A) and traffic from B to A is "IN". If you want to reverse this, you can place a minus sign (-) in front of the target.
