Does Shib on IIS "see" every request even if no RequestMapper rule triggers it?

So to get the same behavior on IIS as the above two Apache config lines provide on Apache (i.e. don't require a session to exist, but if it does, add the information to the request environment), what is the corresponding RequestMapper config? I don't see a NativeSPContentSettings config that matches the basic "Require shibboleth" Apache config.
