No, in fact if you instal open sans then the font variants on graphic design stackexhange stop working. But no Open Sans is not part of Windows, Mac or IOS defaults.

But does it matter? You can just specify it as a webfont and then it will show up regardless of it being installed or not.

    @JakeM that is one way. Or you can host the fonts yourself too – joojaa Jun 18 '18 at 10:50
