USCIS in-account estimates are pretty useless. This was discussed already here:

Hello!

IOE RECEIPT NUMBER IS WHEN YOU FILE ELECTRONICALLY AT USCIS.

Not entirely correct. There are paper filings that also get assigned IOE receipts if they are processed electronically.

REFERENCE:

" What Is a Receipt Number, and Where Can I Find My Receipt Number for USCIS? (immigrationhelp.org)"

What Is a USCIS Receipt Number?

USCIS assigns a unique 13-character case number to each application that people file. This is called the receipt number for your case. The first three characters of your case’s receipt number depend on which of the USCIS service centers are processing your case. 

• If the USCIS California Service Center (CSC) is processing your case, your receipt number will begin with WAC.

• If the Nebraska Service Center (NSC) is processing your case, your receipt number will begin with LIN.

• If the Texas Service Center (TSC) is handling your case, your receipt number will start with SRC.

• If your application is with the Vermont Service Center (VSC), your receipt number will begin with EAC.

• If the National Benefits Center (NBC) is processing your case, your number could start with MSC or NBC.

• If USCIS is processing your application online, your receipt number will begin with IOE.

These first three letters will be followed by 10 numbers to form your complete USCIS receipt number. The 10 numbers are a combination of the date your case was opened and your unique case number.

You can check your case status on the USCIS website with your receipt number. You can also get an estimate of how long your application processing will take on the USCIS website."

Bingo. Therefore paper filing processed by USCIS online will get IOE receipts too. Not just filings done online by applicant.
