I have always though that the numbering on the circuit breaker is in as such that the input wire (supply line) is 1 (3,5,7) and the output wire is 2 (4,6,8). However today I discovered that in my panel the input wire is 2, and the output wire is 1. Is this correct? And does it matter?

It can go either way. often the feed to a panel goes "backwards" through the main breaker (compared to the other breakers).
