You are really close to having it figured out.

Pat gave you the correct answer in the first response. Forget
inswing and outswing. Put your back to the proposed hinge side of
the door, whichever hand and arm would be the door is the "hand"
of the door. The normal way to look at a door is standing on the
approach side with the door swinging away from you. If the door
pulls toward you, it is a "reverse" door in commercial hardware
parlance. This only makes a difference on mortise locks and some
closers and hold open devices although most of them have become
reversible. A left hand door is the same as a right hand reverse
door, it is a great system for people who deal with it and
understand it. Avoid the confusion -

Just stay with the "back to the hinges" method, you can't go

install it, it would be 'sunk in' 4".
