The MS fonts have been installed by default on OS X since forever [1].  
First as part of IE 5.2 on 10.0~10.1, which was then the default  
browser, then from 10.2 onwards Apple licensed them from Microsoft  
(with web compat in mind).
Doesn't mean that the user will see your page with those fonts. I know  
quite a few Mac users who disable and/or remove those fonts (me at the  
front: you won't find verdana & courier new on any of my machines… :-).

[1] and on OS 9 before that
