Since writing to the ME region is protected by the IFD configuration, the
possibility of internal flashing would be dependent on the current
configuration of the board's IFD. I suspect most non-ChromeOS hardware will
have it unlocked (default config) as their initial flash was likely with an
external programmer.  ChromeOS hardware will have a locked IFD and require
external flashing to clean the ME (unless previously externally flashed
with a ROM w/unlocked IFD).
