When you call your DE to set up the appointment ask them. If you are unable to ask, file the flightplan. It doesn't cost anything, and if you don't need it just don't pick up the clearance. If it isn't what the DE wanted, you can either refile or have the tower change it. But at least it'll be in the system.
Better to have done it if you aren't sure, IMO.
