If he asks, they may offer it. Nothing says they have to be the one instigating the discussion. There's no set definition, any airport except what is ticketed qualifies.
The point of the language is to prevent airline from saying we flew you to co-terminal, you're on your own. (Ie we flew you to NRT, you're on you're own to get to HND)
