I doubt the always. I've no evidence for it myself so there is at least one T2 that does not see it.
 
No me neither so that makes 2 x 2Ts that don't see it.
 
The way I understand it, Dawn Phenomenon occurs for everyone, diabetes or not.
What makes the difference is whether our pancreas is able to react to it and produce insulin to manage the release of glucose from our livers.
Those of us with sub-optimal pancreases (should that be pancreai?) notice it at different times and differing amounts.

One more of those lovely things that make people with diabetes different from each other,
 
Pancreata I believe @helli :D

As I understand it, your explanation is correct. For myself, I didn’t have DP when first diagnosed but it developed, presumably as my honeymoon ended and my beta cells failed.
 
I`ve had it a few times but very rarely now, my pancreas got cremated years ago.
