The older original generation of orbital and Lagrange Point habitats are indeed spin gravity. This is mostly the habitats in the inner solar system, several of which were already under construction before the influx of alien technologies, dating to about 2100-ish. These are the Stanford Torus and O'Neill Cylinder style colonies. The newer habitats - including ones built to replace the older aging designs - are built with artificial gravity, and are built more vertically in regards to their orientation, with a definite "top" and "bottom" rather than spinning on a horizontal axis. At least one of the latter is designed to resemble the title station of Deep Space Nine, but some people suspect the architect was a classic sci-fi geek.


Not going to add a new question as we still have so many pending answers or further clarification.
