You have an ATS for the 120v power from Shore or Generator, which is a larger 'box' of switching between those sources.

'SOME' Inverters will have a built in 'pass thru' relay, sometimes referred to as an automatic 'switch', but it's purpose is only to 'pass thru' the 120v power that 'may' come from Shore Power or the Generator, when they are active. Otherwise, your Inverter provides that 120v power.

If you have someone wiring some 'specific' items thru the Inverter, such as the fridge and maybe one outlet, and they are not providing a new wiring scheme for a sub-panel of breakers for those circuits, then the Inverter will likely NOT have a relay, since 120v power from the Shore or Generator will never be attached to it - it is simply pulling 12v power from the House batteries and 'inverting' that into 120v power for those specific devices. But, 'how' the inverter is installed and wired will be the determining factor - we don't know how your 'professional' has done that.
