Yes, at leats for the main check machine (running Debian Linux). I cannot speak for the Windows and MacOS checks, but I don't see why ghostscript shouldn't be available there, too. > 2.

We do not run latex on the vignette (this *is* documented), only the R code is checked. The reason is exactly your question: Latex is to heterogenous to assume we have all packages the author of a vignette has, and we do not want to limit the typesetting.
