Those are also bulbs (or corms, maybe), so yes, treat them the same way. You'll note the one in the upper right of your photo is already sprouted, so that tells you what the orientation should be.

The two in the middle are upside down. The one on the bottom right is also upside down.
I believe these might be Gladiolis bulbs.

Welcome to the Orchid Board!
When you're not sure which end is up, it's fine to plant bulbs sideways.
