Nothing specific to Inkscape 0.92 here (same happens expectedly with older Inkscape versions, too; tested and reproduced with 0.91 and 0.48.5).
Based on the transformation of the main (and only) layer group:
transform=
this template originates from a PDF import (which scales and flips the top-level layer containing the data imported from the PDF, due to internal differences of the coordinate systems used in SVG and PDF).
The underlying issue is already tracked e.g. in
* Bug #938558 “Text on path mirrored / backwards (inside flipped group or layer)”

User tips:
I would recommend to start on a newly added layer when drawing new content in Inkscape to a document which was converted from a foreign vector format - this will allow to avoid such inherent issues (the behavior is technically speaking not wrong, just not easy to understand for users).
Cleaning up this document (see menu 'File') might not be a bad idea either, there's lots of cruft in the <defs> section in this "template" ('File > Clean up Document' removes 519 unused definitions).
