Does Police Requesting An Interview Mean Charges Are Already Field?

Location: California

A few days ago a detective called me and requested to meet for an interview. He mentioned this incident happened two months ago. I was not quite sure what incident he was referring to since I was never detained, arrested, pulled over, or had any other interaction with the police. But then he explained what the incident could be over the phone. He offered to meet with me at my home (already have my address) or at the station. I said I would meet with him at the station. I offered to go now, the day of the phone call, he said no lets meet next week. So now this detective waited 2 months plus 1 week to question me about whatever.

He also made a statement:

"The person name is "X" and they've been in and out the psych ward, they seem crazy to me. I just want to get this paperwork off my desk."

Im sure his statement was to deceive me and let my guard down. Just seems odd he would say their name and medical history like that. I know obviously its a trap of some sort. If I do meet with him im only going to say something simple like the sky is blue and then ask to leave. I would assume they would have arrested me by now. All I do is work and gym, and I work in a hospital setting, so there are cameras everywhere I go. Even if gathering evidence like cctv it shouldn't take 2 months to do that.

Does an interview request usually indicate charges are already filed?
