Who connects to whom? Sounds perfectly sensible to me.
Even according to the shallow buzz-word-level of "Client/Server" the X
server is indeed a server which waits for connections and provides
(display and input) services according to requests from X clients.

I don't remember - does it accept the X protocol as described in
Volume 0? If so then you are right in that regard. But I suspect the
network protocol used by it (i.e. between the VNC server and the VNC
client which actually display the image on the screen) is more
primitive and specific to VNC in order to be independent of X11.
