It doesn't say "Auctions are this, this and this" or the sort, just a circumstance where the Surveyor should put one up, a use of it to define timeframe during the which bids can happen, and a compulsory transfer that should happen, using events that happened during the auction to state how that transfer should be done. So with that, given the wording, I believe auctions themselves aren't defined.
So, given that, I don't think auctions exist by virtue of R2491 either (within the context of assuming that all actions in the universe aren't Regulated and that it's possible to do Auctions as unregulated actions).
