Think about filling in a form, though. Filling in a form—“to fill” is unambiguous. In/out isn’t even necessary when you think about it. “I’m going to fill a form” means the same thing too.

I feel like you're technically correct, but saying "fill a form" just sounds weird to a native English speaker.
