Yes, you can count on the fabric to have a DWR applied. Some DWR coatings are very durable and last, and some don't. Just keep in mind that the fabric will be only slightly water resistant. If you are exposed to anything more than some passing snowflakes, or very light brief drizzle of rain, then you'll want to protect the jacket with a full waterproof, or use a synthetic jacket in wetter climates. With down insulation, protecting your insulation is especially important on extended backcountry trips.
