Actually, no, not the default route. If the default route pointed to amprgw, you could not send encapsulated packets to any other gateway at all. The default route is applied to the IPIP packet after encapsulation
- it needs to point to your local upstream Internet router.
Some sites will have to route packets which have both (1) source address within their 44.x.y/z subnet and (2) destination address outside 44/8, to amprgw, since their local upstream Internet provider drops outgoing packets which have a source address within 44/8.
That's quite different from both the default route, or routing packets having destination address within 44/8.
All depends on how you've setup your network, it could be plain dumb default route, or it could be a default route within a VRF, or a default route combined with source based routing... This thread however is not about if, when and how much that route is a default route.
I think that in this case not the technical term "default route" was intended but rather the description the default route for that kind of traffic passing through that gateway...
