Correct. No fusible link, but it does have a current distributor with fuses in it. According to the diagram, the battery cable goes straight to it and the power gets distributed from there.
If it went straight to the starter without some kind of fuse, and with it being shorted for such a long time, he would have surely melted the cable.
Hopefully, at worst, it just blew one of those fuses.
