I managed to open up the metal box behind the wall, and this is what I found:

Definitely looks like an automatic transfer switch. I think the underside of the lid gives it away:

I guess I still don't know for sure that it's all been wired up. I mean, it'd be pretty lame if they wired the inlet into this ATS, but then capped it off inside without actually wiring it. The wires are really densely packed, so it's hard to see, and I am nervous to mess around in there, because even though shore is disconnected, who knows how long this thing holds energy?
My last question for now is, supposing that this inlet is all wired up correctly with the ATS, can I install a common 30 amp RV receptacle (Nema TT-30R) into that inlet box, and then fashion a 30 amp cable to the inverter and have that plugged into the inlet receptacle? Would that work?
Here's what that kind of receptacle looks like:
