It's inconsequential either way. The converter is supplying the 12 volt system when you are plugged in, and doing so at a far greater wattage than what your inverter would be pulling for a reefer.
So even if your unit did not have an internal switching mechanism, the CONVERTER would actually be supplying the power, not draining the batteries, at worst, it would take a few minutes longer to recharge is all.
