Most automatic transmissions do not have a drain plug, you usually take off the oil pan to drain the fluid.

it does have a drain plug … its on the bottom ( Drivers side /rear ) of the square plate.

not all of them have it. from what i’ve seen (far more than i would have liked) it’s about half and half.

but yes, if it has it it’s where you mentioned.
