Hi

It depends on config. if route export to OSPF is allowed, it is marked as
ASBR, even if no route is currently exported. See ospf_proto_finish():

  /* Route export or NSSA translation (RFC 3101 3.1) */                                                                                                                                    |
  cf->asbr = (proto_cf_main_channel(this_proto)->out_filter != FILTER_REJECT) || (nssa && cf->abr);
