This is correct. If it were set to a particular media, one different than what you selected in the driver, I believe you would 
get an alert asking if you want to ignore the discrepancy. Your profile probably came with specific directions regard driver 
settings, including the media setting. I'd use it, other settings will give less accurate results with your profile.

Others here have more working knowledge of duotone usage. But I believe the file will be handed off to the printer as RGB 
anyway, so the most accurate representation of the file on print will be to do the same as you would for an RGB file with 
your profile.
