You are correct. Pedro is wearing his jacket backwards.
Apparently he always does this. It might just be a personal style thing, but it's definitely pretty rare to see someone wear it this way.
It would look really freaky to Japanese people to see someone wearing it that way. They always wear it left over right, as you would dress yourself as a right handed person.
They reserve the right over left for a dead person's funeral display. It symbolizes the fact that they can't dress themselves anymore so someone else had to do it for them. So it's right handed by the dresser's orientation, and crosses right over left on the dead person.
So yeah, either it's a personal style thing with Pedro, or he is a zombie sent from ancient Japan to destroy people with jiu-jitsu.
