You have to pull the wheel off to be 100% sure. I have noticed that the stems are thicker on the TPMS stems, but I wouldnt rely on that as an indicator.

When u start your car does the low air pressure light come on? If so, let some air out of a tire and see if the light comes on...

A good way is to drive over 40KM. If the TPMS light doesn't come up it means you don't have any.
