No, but you did hear "Cleared to" when you receive your IFR clearance. That's your clearance into the controlled airspace under IFR.
I understand there is no specific regulation that required you to hear the words "cleared to" prior to operating in Class B airspace VFR. But how do you know you that you do in fact have a clearance without hearing "cleared though the Class B airspace"? What is your regulatory guidance that receiving a vector constitues a clearance?
