yes they did. The "Yellow Book" standard that defines CD-ROM was published in 1985. Can't remember the title but the first commercial CD-ROM was stamped in the next year or so.

CD-ROM drives obviously existed to support CD-ROM, and one would likely require drivers to use them. In any case MSCDEX was provided with MS-DOS solely to implement CD-ROM support.

That's like saying, any new hardware invented after 2001 is not XP compatible.
