ABSOLUTELY WRONG ON THE FIRST PART
Especially "preflop" any over size chip, put in the pot , without declaring a
raise , is absolutely always just a call.
Preflop you cannot open the action with a bet, there is already a bet in front of you (the blind) and your only options are fold, call or raise. So yes, the norm is that a single oversize chip is a call unless you announce "raise" before tossing in the chip.
Postflop, if you are opening the action, "call" is not an option, and neither is "raise." There is nothing to call or raise. You can either check or bet. In that situation, if you toss out one oversize chip without first declaring your action, the norm is that the value of that chip is the size of your bet.
The way to avoid any mistakes, disputes or misunderstandings is to always verbally declare your action before putting any chips in the pot.
(BTW, nothing in poker is "absolutely always." Rules and customs do vary.)
