I just searched through the gcode s3d produces and they're not using M92 anywhere.
Also I checked the suggested start code from AW3D and they also don't set it. So I'm assuming the firmware defaults apply. I'll check the firmware but I'm mid-print so I have to wait a while before I fiddle with it.

The steps/mm is set in the firmware.

The difference between gcode and x3g is that the x3g is compiled from the gcode for efficiency (takes lots of parsing and math off of the tiny processor in the printer, letting it print faster/more reliably). Printers that consume x3g code do _not_ consume gcode, as the gcode parsing, etc, was stripped from the firmware to make room for other features. So the original poster was correct to make the distinction between a printer that consumes gcode and a printer that consumes x3g.
