No, Emacs was built with libxml support, but you need to install the
library separately.
On MS-Windows, users are not required to have all the optional
libraries that the Emacs binary can support; each library will be
dynamically loaded if and when needed for the first time. But the
library itself is a separate DLL, and does not come with Emacs,
because distributing these DLLs with Emacs is a burden the volunteers
who provide the Emacs binary don't have to take upon themselves.
The file README.W32 in the distribution should tell you where you can
find these DLLs.
