No, there are no magical filters or anything going on. If a plugin causes aliasing, for example by trying to generate a 80khz tone when the host is running at 44.1khz, that's completely allowed, the host can do nothing about it, and the tone will be aliased from that point on in the signal chain. It could be considered a programming error in the plugin, but developers make various trade offs between things when developing. Antialias techniques are typically very CPU intensive and can cause additional latency.
