From my reading, if you plug into the USB before paired, the iPhone will ask you to enable wireless carplay and do all the negotiation for setting up BT and WiFi portions via the USB cable to make it even more seamless.
BTW, I did confirm over the weekend that my wife's X3 is making a Wifi connection to the phone using an SSID, so looks like you are correct and all of the wireless units must be doing so.
