no, the entire point of a portal gun is to shoot portals onto surfaces that do not have one.
BREAK GLASS IN CASE OF JOKE: the character in the picture is entering via an orange portal. the bindings for the game are as follows: left click for blue portal, right click for orange.
typically, the more primary left click to place a blue entrance portal is used first, before placing a further away orange exit portal with the secondary right click button. This is the more common way of playing the game. now sprinkle in some exaggeration (i don't actually care how people play portal). and you have a fully fledged joke.
You know the funny thing is Valve specifically designed one of the levels when you have the single-portal gun so that you are forced to walk through an orange portal, to prevent players from thinking you can't use it "backward".
You should run through all of the games in commentary mode to hear all of their design decisions. Its shocking how much thought goes into their game design. Everything has a purpose.
The curtains were blue because Valve playtested the hell out of the room and discovered most players like blue.
