One doesn't have to be instrument rated to file an IFR flight plan, do

Their CFII doesn't file the flight plan *for* them, filing is all part
of the training, no?

No they don't. While training and doing IFR flights under IFR flight
plans as a student, I always filed with my own name (even though the
CFII was the PIC). I had to file an IFR flight plan for my checkride,
too. The DE didn't even comment when I filed it under my own name.
