Very nice platform!

Indeed, it is not done for the moment...

I am not sure USB ID is well supported by consumer cable providers and
is a reliable way to determine host or device mode.

Anyway, using this port as host or device is a matter of
1/ driving or not VBUS pin
2/ dealing with loading the gadget driver (as the "Enable" of the usba
IP is responsible for swithing to device mode).

I think that determining if the port shall be used in host or device
mode can be asked through the GUI... But note that I am not an USB expert...
