As far as I remember, Excel AutoFilter is a feature of the application, 
not the file. If that is not correct, please correct me.

But what may be part of the file is a specific filter, since Excel knows 
of a stored filter when the file is opened again.

Another way to check this is to open a prepared file with OOo: If the 
filter is recognized there, then there obviously must be some way to 
detect it.

If on the other hand OOo can set up such a filter, and afterwards Excel 
can recognize it, there obviously must be some way to put that into the 
file.
