'physical reads direct' is *all* direct reads, not just those done for a consistent read. eg Here's a simple query

SQL> create table t as select d.* from dba_objects d, ( select 1 from dual connect by level <= 50 ) ;

Table created.

SQL> select max(owner)from t;

MAX(OWNER)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
XDB

1 row selected.

SQL> @mystat
Enter value for statname: direct

NAME                                                              VALUE
------------------------------------------------------------ ----------
db block gets direct                                                  0
consistent gets direct                                            76350
physical reads direct                                             76350

so they are in alignment. Now I'll do something that needs *other* kinds of direct I/O, eg a large sort

SQL> select max(x)
  2  from ( select row_number() over ( order by OWNER,OBJECT_NAME,SUBOBJECT_NAME,OBJECT_ID ) as x from t );

    MAX(X)
----------
   3937800

1 row selected.

SQL> @mystat
Enter value for statname: direct

NAME                                                              VALUE
------------------------------------------------------------ ----------
db block gets direct                                                  0
consistent gets direct                                            76350
physical reads direct                                            102953
