Fwiw you can create different device types in the tests and check whether autocenter has a different default value, but I suspect like @TomaszPakula says, that it's just unspecified behavior. The DInput autocenter feature doesn't seem to be well defined, even on the HID PID side, and sends a generic (reset / stop all) command that drivers are free to interpret the way they like.
