Say... do you have to order your ships to "cloak" when the grav cloaking is built into the hull? "Sir, we're going to weigh 300 kT now!"

Yes you do, but you don't have to imagine it in a silly way. If you un-cloak, then your ship is seeking combat, and the active sensors required to find and intercept enemy ships withing the very large amount of space represented by a system sector, would reasonably be detectable at range. Think of cloaking as "silent running" compared to aggressive running.
