Does the pivot have an orientation in Houdini?

Houdini 8.1 documentation:

Nope. A pivot is just defines a point in space. If you are Transforming some object/geo you can hit “Insert” to adjust the pivot.

Like you do it in Maya or XSI. The only difference is the other applications have a rotation for the pivot or center.

Well if you need the “pivot” to have a rotation you could just parent a null to the object. From there you could transform and rotate that null, and since its the object's parent it will act as the center or “pivot”.
