No it doesn't - the RIAA curve is a factnor of the LP. Nothing to do
with the type of cartridge.

Not so, a ceramic, or crystal cartridge, (and some of the new
el-cheapo USB turntables use cheap ceramic cartridges once more) do
NOT require the same EQ as for magnetic types.

Do they have a built in RIAA curve or something ?!!

You could say that, an inherent response which *approximates* the RIAA curve
without adding further EQ.
Good enough for the market this junk is aimed at.
