Leather seat conditioner?

My W211 has
831A AMARETTA/LEATHER/NAPPA/SEMI-ANILINE-BLACK/ANTH upholstery.

Does this mean my seats are plastic-coated and do not need a hide treatment?

I have on previous cars used the Gliptone Liquid Leather to great effect but would this be pointless on my car's seats?
 
You can do a simple test to check. Just place a single drop of clean water on a flat part of the leather, if it is absorbed the leather is uncoated and would benefit from conditioners. If the drop remains on the surface the leather is coated and would not benefit from conditioners.

99% of modern factory fitted leather is coated..
