What is considered a default query for the request filter?

The “default” query is the one WordPress does itself, based on the URL and such, automatically.

Any query you create manually, via a new WP_Query or by calling query_posts(), will not use the ‘request’ filter.

There is only one “default” query, and you cannot trigger it via any code in the template.
