This is what I observe with Octave 3.0.1 and gnuplot 4.2.3 on Debian:
## produce a plot with 16 (4x4) squares
octave> pcolor(magic(5)) # edges are visible (black lines)
octave> shading("flat") # edges become invisible
octave> shading('interp') # no change
octave> shading('faceted') # edges become visible again
So apparently the default is "faceted". I cannot find this as a
property of the plot though, so I can only deduce that by looking at the
plot.
