This feature has been labeled as deprecated. The recommended replacement is: lanes:bus=* or bus:lanes=* + access:lanes=*.
The reason is documented in Deprecated features. You are still free to continue to use or interpret this tag as you see fit since OpenStreetMap does not have “banned features”.
Under no circumstances should you (semi-)automatically change “deprecated” tags to something else in the database on a large scale without conforming to the automated edits code of conduct. Any such change will be reverted.

busway:right=* was a tag which denoted the existence of bus infrastructure on a certain side of a highway=*. This is more specific than just using busway=* which only tells you the existence but not the position of bus infrastructure.

It's been deprecated in favour of lanes:bus=* or bus:lanes=* + access:lanes=* which are more specific in access and given the limited use of busway:right=* for anything other than bus lanes, the whole key has been deprecated alongside busway:left=* and busway:both=*. See busway=lane for more details.
