I never really thought about it but want to make sure I'm not missing something.

When I bought the fork for my fixed gear bike it was just a fork - no mention made of whether it was road or track specific so my guess is no.
No. The only difference is that forks meant specifically for track bikes often lack a hole in the crown for mounting a brake and typically have less rake and tire clearance. Both road and track front wheels have 9mm axles.
