No, it doesn't. You need a 3rd party app (like Android File Transfer) to access general files and that's because Apple decided to make it harder for their users to use an android with a Mac. Why? Because they want to sell you an iPhone.
If you connect an Android device to a linux or windows pc, it simply shows up as an external device. No apps needed.
Again, what? Windows did not invest in Android (they even tried to create their own mobile OS) and this has absolutely nothing to do with that. The only reason why you can't access your files from an iPhone or your Android files from a Mac is because Apple makes it deliberately inconvenient. There are no other reasons.
Android uses a standard communication protocol. There was no specific android "integration". It's like saying that a thumbdrive working on a given OS requires specific integration for each manufacturer.
