I’ve only seen outlet switches in the UK, unless you plugged into a roof lamp outlet where the switch are by the entrance door, but then you need a plug like these (at least here in sweden)
Seriously, many soldering irons don’t have a switch. Fancy soldering stations have switches, temperature dials, etc. But basic ones are just a resistive load wired directly to the plug.
Don’t they have switches?

No.

I think they meant on the wall or outlet not the iron.

Sounds like a cheap portable soldering iron, which just heats up to some roughly usable temperature whenever it’s plugged in.
