Understanding map coordinates in 7 Days to Die

Understanding map coordinates in 7 Days to Die - Top view of magnifying glass and cellphone with compass with coordinates placed on paper maps on beige background in light room

I've been playing 7D2D for a little while now, but only recently came across the console, and noticed that certain things happen at specific coordinates, like an airdrop. I know the triple is (X,Y,Z) where X is East/West, Z is North/South, and Y is height from bedrock.

The thing I'm having a bit of trouble wrapping my head around is that some of these coordinates are in the negative. I read that the X coordinate is "West to East", does that mean that a negative X value is West of the origin, and a positive X value is East, etc.?

Same for North South... it says "South to North" -- does that mean -Z is South of origin, etc?
