However pascal's string types, seem more of a special type, one could consider this a "software type" which is not really implemented by the instruction set and therefore requires some kind of software routines to make it work.

Right. Some (dynamic...) data types require special support for allocation and other standard procedures, in the RTL. Furthermore the compiler may include some magic, i.e. transform certain syntactic constructs (operators...) into calls to these procedures.
