I believe you're right.

Any easy way to find out if -d was used if dump is done someone else?

Thanks,

That doesn't prove a thing; the question is what you typed at pg_dump.

Thinking about it, I wonder if you did "pg_dump -d mydb ..."
-d means something different to pg_dump than pg_restore.

yes, just look into your dump file. If it contains INSERT statements -d was
used, if it contains COPY statement -d was not used.
