It could be either. The signal could be physically tied high to indicate a device. I would be inclined to do it via software myself to give the flexibility to change later without changing the hardware.

I have to admit that I've only forced host mode via software, so I'm not entirely sure that device mode can be forced via software but I think it's a safe assumption.
