Is request memoization enabled by default?

From the docs:
This sounds like it's enabled by default, as opposed to the Data Cache which you explicitly need to add:
to each request.
Am I understanding this correctly?
Next.js extends the fetch API to automatically memoize requests that have the same URL and options. This means you can call a fetch function for the same data in multiple places in a React component tree while only executing it once.
This sounds like it's enabled by default, as opposed to the Data Cache which you explicitly need to add:
fetch(`https://...`, { cache: 'force-cache' })to each request.

It’s just de-duping your requests that happen in the same render pass, imagine you call it in layout, then again in metadata and then again in page, you’ll only call it once

I know what it does, was confirming that it's enabled automatically without needing
cache: 'force-cache'
