Perhaps it wouldn’t have written the plan first if you explicitly asked it not to. It guessed that you’d want it, I guess.
Very interesting! If it can write a story plan, and a story that follows the plan, then it can write according to a plan, even if it usually doesn’t.
But if these responses are typical, and stories written without a plan are similar to stories written with a plan, I take it to mean that all stories have a plan, which further means that it didn’t actually follow your first prompt. It either didn’t “want” to write a story without a plan, or, more likely, it couldn’t, which means that not only does ChatGPT write according to a plan, it can’t write in any other way!
Another interesting question is how far could this kind of questioning be taken? What if you ask it to , for example, write a story and, after each paragraph, describe its internal processes that led it to writing that paragraph?

Two possibilities: 1) It would make something up. 2) I would explain that it’s an AI yada yada...
