Array Formulas not necessary

I was asked to help my boyfriend on a vlookup with multiple conditions. I know that requires using Index Match and using them as an array formula. However when he went to hit "enter" he didn't want to use "ctrl, shift, enter" as I told him but it still ended up working. At work today I checked another formula to turn back the second value from a vlookup instead of the first, something I also know needs array formulas. And again, the ctrl shift enter wasn't necessary.

The formulas in question are below

=index(A:A,match(1,(B:B=F2)*(C:C=G2),0))
=INDEX(Invoice!D:D,SMALL(IF(Invoice!F:F=B2,ROW(Invoice!F:F)),2))

Does anyone know why it is working without telling excel it is an array formula?
 
It's to do with when updates are released, people on the Monthly (targeted) channel now have the new Dynamic Array functions, but those on the Monthly Channel don't as yet.
I suspect that you won't have them either. If you had that would explain why you don't need to use CSE anymore.
