Ok, I will offer three distinct answers to your question.

Answer No. 1.
A circle is by definition a two dimensional construct. It exists on a single plane. It is one line with its ends connected to each other.

Any line on a plane has two sides, as there are two dimensions to a plane. Those two sides to the line can be described as left and right, top and bottom, or upper and lower. All of those names describe the same set of two sides. There are but two sides to any line in any plane.

"Inside and outside" is a set of names accurately representing the very same two sides such a line has on that very same two dimensional plane.

Regardless of the position of the single line defining the circle it still has two sides and two sides only. One for each dimension of the plane. The names of the two sides matter not.
