It's compiled in by default:
$ ssh -Q kex | grep sntrup
[email protected]

as long as the compiler supports variable length arrays:
/*
 * sntrup761 uses variable length arrays, only enable if the compiler
 * supports them.
 */
#ifdef VARIABLE_LENGTH_ARRAYS
# define USE_SNTRUP761X25519 1
#endif

but it is not in the default KexAlgorithms list in either client:
$ ssh -F /dev/null -G localhost | grep kex
kexalgorithms
curve25519-sha256,[email protected],ecdh-sha2-nistp256,ecdh-sha2-nistp384,ecdh-sha2-nistp521,diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256,diffie-hellman-group16-sha512,diffie-hellman-group18-sha512,diffie-hellman-group14-sha256

or server:
$ sudo /usr/sbin/sshd -f /dev/null -T | grep kex
kexalgorithms
curve25519-sha256,[email protected],ecdh-sha2-nistp256,ecdh-sha2-nistp384,ecdh-sha2-nistp521,diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256,diffie-hellman-group16-sha512,diffie-hellman-group18-sha512,diffie-hellman-group14-sha256

so it is disabled by default and will never be used unless enabled at
runtime by the user/admin in the configuration or flags.

Yes.

Those are not the same thing.  For example, diffie-hellman-group1-sha1
is also supported but not enabled by default.
