The default develop settings you are describing are just that -- the default develop settings.
Those are the same settings you will revert an image to if, in the develop module, you select the "reset" button at the bottom right of the right-hand panel. If you have not customized your defaults, you can revert to the same settings by holding down shift, and pressing the same button (when you press shift, you'll see it changes to "Reset (Adobe)"). Those are, for lack of a better description, the default Adobe development settings.
If you want to change the defaults and save your own default settings, press the alt key (not sure of Mac key name), and the same button will turn into "Set Default...". Select Set Default and follow the dialogs to save your settings.
You can have different settings saved based on camera serial numbers, as well as ISO.
Now, when you import a new image, or press the "Reset" button, your saved development settings will be applied (depending on how you saved them, and may be based on camera serial # and individual image ISO).
You can always go back to the Adobe defaults at any time by pressing shift + "Reset (Adobe)".
As an aside, these are completely unrelated to the develop presets you can also save.
Clear as mud? :P
ETA - The behavior determining how saved defaults are applied per camera serial # and/or image ISO is controlled under File -> Preferences -> Presets -> Default Develop Settings.
