No, but they often refer to a "game" and you don't know it's a HS game, let alone a HS game played under Fed rules. Frequently that's one's best bet, for instance if the game is said to have been played on a Fri. night. But around here, HS varsities play on Saturdays (not enough fields with lights, not many colleges have football with much following), and there are circuits of schools that don't belong to their state HSAA, and there are states whose HSAA doesn't use Fed for football, so you never know.

And most conversations on rules never talk about NFL because most people here do not work under those rules.

Not most, but maybe more than you think. Most adult nonacademic football is played under the current or previous season's NFL rules or a slight modification of them. In any given year in New York City, I think there are more games of football under such rules than under NCAA's.
USFA rules are catching on, I understand.
