Your projection matrix is following the classic opengl conventions. Matrix transposition if we have a matrix m with n rows and m columns. To use column major order in a row major environment, or vice versa, for whatever reason, one workaround is to assign nonconventional roles to the indexes using the first index for the column and the second index for the row, and another is to bypass language syntax by explicitly computing positions in a onedimensional array. Opengl uses columnmajor matrices, which is standard for mathematics users. Matrix4 class contains an array of float data type to store 16 elements of 4x4 square matrix, and has 3 constructors to instantiate a matrix4 class object matrix4 class uses the columnmajor order notation same as opengl uses. You can use any notation, as long as its clearly stated. If your last member w of the matrix contains the translation component of the transform the matrix is representing, then it is indistinguishable from a column major layout.

Simply put, a matrix is an array of numbers with a predefined number of rows and colums. The rowmajor matrix convention however makes matrices easier to teach which is the reason we use it for scratchapixel.
The difference in offsets between consecutive columns of the matrix will be referred to as the column stride, and is constant across the matrix. Opengl follows columnmajor order, meaning that the array offsets are specified like this. I dont think you need to flip the zcoordinate of your vertex, just transpose you matrix and use it in your directx program a command misunderstanding about this is lh or rh system, but its really nothing about which coordinate system you are using, its about rowmajordirectx or.
