No, they are not. The only image library shipped with the precompiled
binary distribution is libXpm, because without it you don't have the
color icons on the toolbar buttons. The other image libraries need to
be installed separately.

You won't be able to see PNG image files in Emacs, yes. And libpng is
a DLL, not a program.
See the value of image-library-alist for the possible image libraries
Emacs supports for each image type. You need to have at least one
installed for each type, to be able to visit images of that type
