Does Contrary affect stat changes given?

I know it affects the stats of the enemy if it uses a move to change its stats but what if, let’s say, an Inkay used Swagger. Will it have the same effect or will it lower the target’s attack?

This Ability inverts all changes to the stat stages of a Pokémon with this Ability; if an effect would lower a stat, it is increased instead, and if an effect would increase a stat, it is decreased instead. Effects that change a Pokémon’s stats without affecting stat stages, such as burn and paralysis, are not affected by Contrary.This also applies to self-inflicted changes, such as Curse and Leaf Storm. This Ability only inverts the changes when they are applied; it does not passively cause all existing changes to reverse; therefore, if the Ability Contrary is no longer in effect or the stats are Baton Passed, all existing stat stage changes remain the same. Stats Baton Passed onto a Pokémon with Contrary are not reversed.

Yes, Contrary will reverseallstat changed inflicted onto a Pokemon with Contrary. So yes, Contrary would cause Swagger to lower attack, if Swagger is used on a Pokemon with Contrary. Contrary does not, however, reverse any stat changes that are inflicted onto the enemy of a Pokemon with Contrary, unless, of course, the enemy also has Contrary.
