Supporting VP8 and allowing VP8 content to play if the user installs a VP8 codec are two very different things.

Microsoft whitelists all codec but h264 on IE9, so allowing VP8 is a sign of support, not very strong but quite a bit. Also remember that first versions of windows XP had a similar kind of support with mp3 until it started shipping with it once it was super popular IIRC.
