normally if a fuel filler flap can be opened without a release button or lever then it should have a locking cap, but if only way of opening is lever/button worked then no

Most modern ford's have it working with the central locking. Lock the car and the flap shouldn't open.

Some of the new ones dont have any thing. They have a thing in the filler neck to stop fuel being drained . All the new style focus's have the same system
