My question is do making this, triggers $("#typeFilter").change event?

Answer 1

No it won't trigger the change event if you want to trigger the event after setting the value use trigger. Change event is triggered only if it is an interaction from device not with javascript.

$("#typeFilter").val("0");
$("#typeFilter").trigger('change');
