No, not a valid assumption. 

In order to support legacy applications, priority markings (e.g. RPH) may 
be set based on the "dialed number"- e.g., by parsing the Request URI.

In some architectures (e.g. IMS) there may be RPH-capable SIP actors (Type 
A) which do not parse the Request URI looking for the key strings.  Such a 
SIP actor would send a SIP Invite WITHOUT RPH.  However, a subsequent 
RPH-capable SIP actor (which DOES parse the Request URI looking for the 
key strings) (Type B) would set RPH, both in Invites sent forward, and in 
responses sent back.

So the "Type A" SIP actor could send out an Invite without RPH, but get 
back a response WITH RPH.

I have oversimplified, but the point is that it is not a valid assumption.
