Some autoformers have built in spike and surge protection.
Spike protection yes
Surge.. I have never seen one with Surge protection.. Just Spike.
That said there is ONE autoformr that can buck overvoltage (Surges) as well as boost under voltage (Brownout) I can never remember the brand..But a surge protector AFTER it is still a good idea since on both BOOST and BUCK..It has limits and I have seen campgrounds that test those limits.
I don't know how great the performance is, but this is what I got from the Hughes website:
