No, not all of them. Some are just implemented as components for
ease-of-use a very long time ago. They can then be dropped on a form
and by magic the necessary settings to use them are added by the IDE.
But they can be used by adding the specific uses clauses and search
paths manually and created in code instead of having the IDE do it.

No runtimes, we always build everything into our exe files.
