Is temporal scaler defaulting to metricType: Value?

[nschrader]

Hey there,

when reading the documentation, I am wondering if the temporal scaler is in some sense defaulting to metricType: Value. My confusion arises when the page on ScaledObject states (https://keda.sh/docs/2.17/reference/scaledobject-spec/#triggers):

metricType: The type of metric that should be used. ([...] Default: AverageValue, [...])

but the page on the temporal scaler says (https://keda.sh/docs/2.17/scalers/temporal/)

targetQueueSize - Target value for queue length passed to the scaler. The scaler will cause the replicas to increase if the queue message count is greater than the target value per active replica. (Default: 5, Optional)

(emphasis on per active replica)

So is there actually a difference between metricType: Value and metricType: AverageValue for this scaler? And if so what are the implications for each variant?
