A:
Windows CE is a modular, componentized OS. It is completely up to the OEM whether or not they include the ActiveSync components into the OS image. They can also include ActiveSync core support without any entity (Contact, Calendar, etc) sync capability.
The supported transport(s) (serial, USB, ethernet, RNDIS, etc) are completely OEM configurable as well.
