In a raw file, the while balance has not yet been "set" for the image. A raw file needs to be "translated" into an image, which means, deciding how to turn that raw data into colors. This is one of the main advantages of shooting in RAW -- you can adjust how that translation happens, so, you can change the white balance easily.

Again, if you can't tell the difference, don't bother yet!
