I've never heard a controller who felt it necessary to check with a fixed-wing pilot whether he was familiar with a particular runway, whereas I frequentyly hear controllers ask visiting helicoptor pilots if they are familiar with helicoptor aiming points.
This could be because:

a) Runways tend to stick out like a dogs bs; and

b) Helicopter landing spots, being smaller, don't.
