A player is caught offside if he’s nearer to the opponent’s goal than both the ball and the second-last opponent (including the goalkeeper) when his team-mate plays the ball to him.
Can you be off sides on a direct kick?
You are correct. It is perfectly legal for players to be in the offside position, even when their teammates play the ball, as long as they do not become actively involved in the play by interfering with an opponent, interfering with play, or gaining an advantage because of their position.
Is offside direct or indirect?

A direct free kick means that the kick can be taken as a direct shot. An indirect free kick means that someone else has to touch the ball before it can be taken as a shot on goal. Touching the ball with his or her hands after he or she has received it directly from a throw-in by a teammate.
