The gstat manual at http://www.gstat.org/gstat.pdf says on p16 that  "When no variograms are specified, inverse distance weighted interpolation
is the default action (Fig. 2.1, example [6.3]).
When variograms are specified the default prediction method is ordinary
kriging Journel and Huijbregts (1978); Cressie (1993) (example [6.4] and
example [6.8])."

It looks like reading that manual may be useful ...
