lsmod | grep microcode showed that it was running. I just rebooted my
system, but it still shows
paul@wollumbin ~ $ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep micro
microcode       : 0x10000c8

That seems to be the case, as now at least I see that a call to
microcode is in the kern log. For the latter remark, if I look at the HP
site, I see that there is an update (Windows format) for my laptop [1],
which I can hardly imagine that it is already updated. So, unsure.
