No! When compiling the Qt-library, you can specify a flag for the theme 
to build. The controls appears then with this theme.

On windows you can easaly test this, with Spy++.
I've just created a simple window with 
QHBoxLayout,QGridLayout,QGroupbox,Qlabel,QLineEdit,QTextEdit.
But ther is only one win32-control and this is the main-window!
You can see this also on the traffic of the windowsmessages.
This is so on Windows, maybe Qt use more native controls on other platforms?

The problem with OSX is, as I know, that some controls not only look 
different, but are also different arranged, and this make it more 
difficult to emulate.
