H1B and F1 filing jointly

I am on H1B and wife is on F1.

If we file jointly does that mean my wife is automatically considered a resident for tax purposes?

OR
I came across this form called 6013g, which mentions on slide 3 here https://www.irs.gov/pub/fatca/int_practice_units/JTO9431_02_09.PDF, that we actually need to fill this form along with our joint returns for my wife to considered a resident. Can somebody confirm whether we need to file 6013g or not?
