> Hi, will this mean that the coastline will eventually no longer need to follow a particular direction?
No, the coastline still needs to be correct. The land polygons and (ocean) water polygons are created with almost the same process, they both use the OSM coastline as a source. See openstreetmapdata.com for the details: http://openstreetmapdata.com/data/water-polygons
