I'm doing RNA-seq and used the seqkit tool to count the number of reads in the Fastq file. The tool indicates that my data is of the DNA kind. I am unsure of the type's reliability here.
I am using this files: Homo_sapiens.GRCh38.dna_sm.primary_assembly.fa.gz

Is the reference genome the cause of this? Is it possible that I'm using the incorrect one because it's titled with dna?

What command did you actually use? Remember that RNA-seq reads are created by first synthesising cDNA out of mRNA molecules, so it makes sense to not have U instead of T's, so yes the reads are fine.
