Default Is the pressure plate balanced?

I'm doing the clutch on my 2001 manual, it's been sitting for a couple of years since I blew the clutch, so it's kinda rusty. I'm just reading about the flywheel balancing and noticed my flywheel does have the weights in it. I also noticed that my pressure plate has what looks like balance weights on it too. These 2 metal plugs are only located on this one spot on the pressure plate. Are the pressure plate weights only to balance the pressure plate or is the flywheel/pressure plate balanced as a whole?
Also, is there any significance to the blue writing on it? It's the stock clutch and has never been replaced.
