Nope, ARC work on compiler level. MacRuby runtime have nothing to do with it.
Currently the GC do these retain and release for us, if they are to be removed in future release of OS X, we have to build our own GC for MacRuby. It would be great because we are no longer limit by Apple to bring MacRuby to iOS. The only problem is I have no idea how to build such a GC and don't sure what i can help...
