Yep. You won't do any harm connecting them the wrong way round, so don't worry about it too much.

Power and reset cables can go either way around since they are a switch that closes a circuit. LEDs will only work one way around.

If you connect teh LED the wrong way round then it wont light up. Connect it the other way and BINGO!

To be honest, RTFM.

Either that, or look to see if information is printed on the PCB, next to the pins (which it generally is).
