The default contains the %d wildcard, which is replaced by the directory. This man page says "Open the current directory in the default file explorer: xdg-open .", which implies you can give it a directory and it will open a file explorer program. It works on my Linux Mint anyway. (I did the cinnamon install and I don't have nautilus).

does it open that file or open the file manager at the path with the file selected1? In other words does xdg-open do the same thing?

xdg-open with a file (i.e. if the user changes %d to %f), opens the associated program for that file, it doesn't open the file manager. If the user wanted the file manager to select the file, they should change it to e.g. nemo %f, which works on my system.
