I've tried it with the following trigger:

The trigger function does nothing special:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.tf_tr_tl_test1 ()
    RETURNS trigger
    LANGUAGE 'plpgsql'
    VOLATILE
    NOT LEAKPROOF
    SECURITY INVOKER
    PARALLEL UNSAFE
AS
$$
BEGIN
    RAISE NOTICE 'Trigger called with: %', new;
    RETURN new;
END;
$$

If I do a

EXPLAIN ANALYZE
     INSERT INTO test_large (id)
          VALUES (2)
     ON CONFLICT
        ON CONSTRAINT pk_test_large
        DO NOTHING;

I get the following:

NOTICE:  Trigger called with: (2,,)
                                             QUERY PLAN
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Insert on test_large  (cost=0.00..0.01 rows=1 width=40) (actual 
time=0.153..0.153 rows=0 loops=1)
    Conflict Resolution: NOTHING
    Conflict Arbiter Indexes: pk_test_large
    Tuples Inserted: 0
    Conflicting Tuples: 1
    ->  Result  (cost=0.00..0.01 rows=1 width=40) (actual time=0.003..0.004 
rows=1 loops=1)
  Planning Time: 0.142 ms
  Trigger tr_tl_test1: time=0.116 calls=1
  Execution Time: 0.180 ms

As you can see the trigger function is called for the row I try to insert, but 
you can also see that there's no tuple inserted but one conflicting.

A before trigger cannot know the actual. So a BEFORE INSERT trigger will behave 
as such even if no INSERT takes place.
If you want to skip your particular "normal" trigger , just run :
set session_replication_role to 'replica';
and run your upsert.

     The insert trigger will only be fired if an INSERT actually takes place.

     If INSERT ON CONFLICT results in an UPDATE (or a DO NOTHING), no INSERT 
trigger will be fired.
