That's not how this stuff works in RTL locales. It works by changing the character produced by the keyboard keys assigned to these characters, when the keyboard is configured for an RTL language. E.g., a key labeled « should produce » when the current language is RTL. That's how this works with mirrored characters as well, because when you type in an RTL language, you will press ) when you want an opening parenthesis, since that's what you expect to see on display. With a suitably configured keyboard (or input method, for that matter), the problem you mention doesn't exist, and therefore there's no relation between whether characters are swapped and whether they are mirrored.
