If the plastic portion you grip is grey in color on the original you had or have now, that's pretty much a dead giveaway that yes you do have a coded chip key. I'd call your dealership and ask to be sure. If you need to get a second key made, don't pay outrageous dealership prices, when you can get a set from ebay at about $9.00. I needed to do this myself when my ignition switch failed. The dealership was going to charge $199.99 for just the keys! I was able to get the switch as well for less then half the price. Only warning is to never by china knock offs. This goes for any auto part needed for repair. Frills like cool seat covers? Well, you may be okay there.
