I am building an artificial village for the purpose of a Iron Golem grinder and I am curious to know whether the direction the door faces on a "house" will affect the village behavior.
I am building the door in the direction opposite to normal village doors because I don't want villagers to be able to stand on the block below the door and escape the village.
I am wondering whether the game's programming allows a house with a door placed from the inside of a structure.

As long as you make sure you place the door frontally at the entrance it doesn't matter whether you are placing from inside or outside of the house. If you place the door sideways in the entrance it might or might not be a valid door for the village, depending on the house design.
To make sure the door is places frontally rather than sideways, press F3 and look at the door - at the right side it says
open: trueoropen: false. That is what the game 'thinks' about the state of the door. If the door looks closed when it readsopen: false(and looks open when it readsopen: true), the door is correctly placed.Really it is easier to do right than to do it wrong, so if you place the doors naturally they will probably be fine.
