If it's ext3 in /proc/mounts, it is definitely being mounted as ext3, yes. The reason for the fsck could be a drive error, or the fs might have a forced fsck interval set (see "man tune2fs" for info about setting a fs up to fsck every N boots or N days, or how to disable that.) The fsck code will tell you why it is doing the fsck, and without that info, there's little we can do to guess the reason any better than that. The ext2/3 error handling code is such that if a filesystem finds certain corruptions on disk, it will set a flag in the fs marking it as needing a full fsck next reboot. You'll get a "fsck forced due to filesystem errors" message at fsck time if that kicks in.
