It does on mine -- although mine has no label on it so I had to puzzle it out. Mine IS a lighted switch so I know when DW hits it with her elbow and the way up the stairs!

This is not the first time TODAY we've seen a post about a salesman giving incorrect information.
If your unit has a corrugated plastic (coroplast) sheet underneath and it's fastened to the trailer with screws, you can remove a few screws and look up in there and see if you have a black (usually) rubber mat (much smaller than you'd expect) stuck to the bottom of your tanks, you can tell which tanks have heaters.

EDIT:
Here’s the one on my fresh water tank.
