If the file is detected at startup,_then_ the system will perform an fsck. So it is normal for this file to exist while the system is running normally. If you really want to test this, shut down your system normally and then boot it from a livecd - I suspect if you examine the root filesystem, you will find that the .autofsck file has been deleted.
Another way to check this is to run these commands in a terminal:
cd / ls -la .autofsck
and check the file's timestamp. The creation time should be at roughly your most recent boot.
