Correct - I believe Martin uses a PLEK machine for all their "lower end" guitars (with the higher-end ones done by hand by proper luthiers) - learned this from a Martin representative back when I worked in a big guitar shop. I think Fender does this to some extent as well.

That doesn't mean an instrument that has already been PLEK'd or properly set up in the past wouldn't benefit from being PLEK'd again - wood changes and flexes over time after all.
