We talked about this why recessed people usually appear to have stronger cheekbones.

if they look in this direction -> their face is concave „)“ shaped and not straight „|“ or even forward grown „\“

that is because the lower jaw is behind the upper. So the Upper Lippe has to close the distance to the lower by moving against the look direction so In <- direction. That is why forward growth will result in the phenomen you posted.

the lip RESTS ontop of the teeth so the angle also depends on the teeth slant.

A philtrum can also be projecting or less Projecting. So it also depends on that

same for nose.

But generally yes. If you are more forward grown you will have a philtrum that is either \ or |. If you are recessed it more like /

Something to keep in mind when ortho and bimax

Teeth slant and maxilla position WILL affect the philtrum to nose angle
