Oh, it should certainly correctly indent by default. indent-tabs-mode determines whether it will insert only spaces or whether it will use tab characters (i.e. ASCII 0x09) to replace runs of spaces - which makes the file smaller but also makes the layout ambiguous (and I find can make navigation trickier as the cursor likes to go to one end of the tab or the other rather than in the middle).
