This is well documented in Word's vba help?

Set myTemplate = ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate
MsgBox myTemplate.Path & Application.PathSeparator _
& myTemplate.Name

The VBA code:
ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate
returns the name of the template that is currently attached to the active
document.

Example:
If ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate = "minute.dot" Then
'Do something
Else
'Do something else
End If
