Did I need to ask?

If you are unclear, then you were right to ask. However, if your example
were complete, then you were allowed to descend.

Should I have assumed pilot's
discretion? She did not tell me to descend, just gave me
the altitude limit.

Assuming there was no other restriction ("upon reaching {IAF}" or "maintain
four thousand until established"), then you are cleared to descend as per
the approach plate when the controller states "cleared for the approach."
