Yes, the CTM affect everything, including text.

Something close: see the 'makefont' operator in the PostScript Language 
Reference Manual. You can use it to mirror the glyphs in the font; this, 
combined with the mirroring of the user space done by the CTM, results in 
glyphs printed normally. This way you don't need to change and restore the 
CTM each time you show a piece of text.
