It's obvious in the music when the pulse is in quarter notes, and if it is, it's written as x/4. In this case, it's not - but some folks might get lazy and write in x/4 cause it's easier for them - also, it can be easier to read, if you're switching back and forth between 4/4 and other meters....
Correct, and it should be written in x/8. For example, a 12/8 feel has a completely different feel than 6/4.
