Is every control, on a query, an expression typed into the field row?

Not necessarily. Queries don't have Controls; they have fields. A Form
can be based on a Query; every field in the Query is available for use
as the Control Source of a bound control on the form, but there is no
obligation to use all the controls. Similarly, it's perfectly routine
to create unbound controls with some calculated expression as the
control's Control Source, or even to have no control source at all.
