I am using wgsim to simulate reads from reference genome and I have a question. Is is always that the first output .fq file contians reads that has the same orientation as reference and the second contains the reverse complement orientation?

The forward and reverse complemented orientations are relative to the simulated DNA fragment - this DNA fragment may have originated from the forward or the reverse strand.
So the first file may have the original orientation and the reverse orientation?
