auto means in this case that the default encoding is used. So ascii is converted to the default

TeX documents can have different encodings. The last listed encoding is the
document-wide encoding.

Removing something that one doesn't understand is a bad idea. Imagine you stop the water cooling of
an atomic powerplant because you think its unnecessary ;-).
