If you have a localconf.php already, TYPO3 guesses that you are
upgrading. And if there is no compat_version set there, it guesses you
are upgrading from 3.8 (as compat_version was implemented in 4.0).

There is no way that I know of that the install tool can differenciate a
upgrade from 3.8 from a "manual install" the way you did it.

If you manually provide a working localconf.php with settings in place,
you should make sure to include the compat_version setting also. And
then you don't have the situation you are talking about.

If you start with a "blank" localconf.php the default list of extensions
from config_defaults.php will apply, which include all new sysext that
weren't there before. So yes.
