They most likely did not as laptop antennas usually run up to the screen so are a lot of work to remove.

Motherboards with a WiFi M.2 socket need a kit that includes the antennas and cable to mount them to the outside case. eg

or a PCIe adapter:

Then you definitely need them outside of the case.
