It depends on the religion and it depends on the wall. Often times, people pray in front of a wall due to the religious significance of the wall or any buildings that previously used or required that wall.

It is not true. Muslims face the direction of Kaba (or The Grand Mosque in Makkah or Mecca) in Makkah (or Mecca) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. If the wall is facing Kaba then they face the wall bit it is not necessary to have a wall facing the Kaba to pray facing this wall.
