Conscript Gary is correct. It is possible for their relationship with you to be Hostile while yours with them is Neutral. And vice versa. Hilarity abounds!
To be clear, you don't need espionage teams per se (which DO need to be deployed to an enemy world). Several different things can net you Espionage points. The most important thing is picking up enemy lifepods, the survivors (especially officers) will give you espionage points. Get enough and you will be rewarded with intel. Espionage teams also give you EPs but are very hard to get into position if you arn't sharing a world.
Espionage mostly rewards you with enemy system locations, enemy ship designs, enemy missile designs, and the like.
