ePub has a spine property, page-progression-direction, that sets reading order to 'rtl'. Probably same with Kindle formats.
Also changing Binding to 'Right Edge' in Acrobat indeed changes the two-page display so you read the right page first. But (at least when system language is English) you still use right cursor to advance through the document. There is also a way to change the default for all documents and override this property. I assume you also get print ready PDF that arranges the pages correctly for printing out signatures for book binding.
Of course some PDF editors will not let you do either of these things, particularly if they aren't designed to product PDF for print production.
macOS Preview doesn't do two page display correctly, for example. Nor does PDF Expert. I think FoxIt does, as a document came up when I was doing web search about this.
