Yes, those are included in the TeXLive default installation,
if I remember correctly. Even though they can be used (because
they have native Unicode / UTF-8 support), regular LaTeX
(in this case, pdflatex, the most common form) can process
cyrillic input as explained in my previous message (with
example). This is helpful for online services which do not
offer access to LuaTeX or xeTeX.
