A structure is only minimized if you ran EM, or the program you used to generate 
the structure performed an EM prior to any process in Gromacs.  The output from 
mdrun will be energy-minimized (provided the process completes satisfactorily), 
but as for whether there was any EM done prior to that, Gromacs didn't do it, so 
only you know based on how you generated your structure.
