The Post describes FBI-maintained equipment on company premises. It doesn't seem likely that Google's controls on their own infrastructure (or, say, Facebook's) are so lax that a few racks full of stuff could show up at their data centers without anyone at the company being aware of it.

The Post says "government equipment on private company property", but the slides don't say that, they also don't say the private property is that of internet companies (Google, Facebook, etc.). The slides actually refer the FBI's Data Intercept Technology Unit, which passes the communications to the NSA, including a Protocol Exploitation system.
