Yes, they identify your phone based on IMEI, has nothing to do with PR level.
For instance, I have a Huawei S7, capable of both voice and data. I use the $10 web plan on my N900. If I put the sim card in the S7 data immediately stops, and I'm prompted to upgrade (either apn). As soon as I put the sim card back in my N900, data works just fine.

I still have my Even More Plus 500 and Unlimited Web for Phones active. For all this plenty I pay around $40 a month instead of paying $80 when I was back at ATT. I've been using it for 10 months already so my $400 N900 is paid off with plan difference) And no 2 year contract slavery. Thank you T-Mob!

I've got my N900 running on AT&T and they definitely don't know that I have a smartphone, so I've still got the old-school 15 dollar unlimited edge connection. Slow, yes, but I'm a cheapskate.

exactly. they only have a db of branded phones. but they could guess youre using a smartphone based on usage. although they cant prove it by imei.

So the consensus seems to be that the hearsay I'd read about PR 1.3 'telling on you' seems to be wrong..
