Everything with regards to direction is relative to whichever host opens the connection. So SNAT will NAT the SOURCE address of the connection from the F5 to the poolmember. (I say this because you can create VS's that are used when the servers behind the F5 open connections out to wherever as well - The VS address/netmask is used to match traffic).
The F5 won't open a connection using it's own self ip (For LB'ed traffic. Monitor traffic WILL be coming from the selfIP address). It'll either open with the client IP (Default if not using SNAT), or the SNAT address (WHich is the floating selfIP if using SNAT automap or one of the addresses in the SNAT pool if using SNAT pools).
