Yes you are right. It only hits images with present EXIF data that has
wrong rotation values. Therefore all images uploaded with wrong EXIF
data have to be tagged by a template so that the bot can through the
pages and correct the EXIF tag to have the right value.
I'm counting myself to the lucky ones that never uploaded images with
EXIF tags, since i found them always useless. The stored data is neither
sufficient for real tasks and it can easily be faked. Now the rotation
is used and it causes more problems then benefits. ;-)

Just to understand - on the last thread about this, it
sounded like
the October 5 update forces MediaWiki to determine rotation based on
EXIF data. If the EXIF data is wrong or missing, the rotation may be
incorrect. As a result, a bot (RotateBot) with a gigantic backlog is
slowly fixing incorrect rotations?

Who thought this was a good idea to automate?
And how does one get this fixed? I can't even revert to a good copy.
Has a list of these been made and human-checked?
