While it doesnt specifically say "IFR" in the AIM, to me its implied. AIM 5-3-3 also discusses change in TAS by 10 knots or 5 percent from the filed flight plan. Can you imagine if all the VFR guys were making those reports?

It also says in 5-3-3(a) When vacating any previously assigned altitude or FL for a newly assigned altitude or FL.

Typically, VFR aircraft aren't assigned altitudes like IFR aircraft are.
