I do, but as far as I understood slide to type was not the default, I recall having to go find a switch to turn it on when the first beta that included it came out

iOS autodetects and automatically switches languages as you described. The globe icon is just for switching key layouts. Language is independent of key layout.
This is also consistent with my experience.
