Re:MSBuild is now open source on GitHub by Negitivefrags on Wednesday March 18, 2015 @07:59PM (#9229439)
Visual Studio changed to using MSBuild for C++ at the time when the project file extension changed from "vcproj" to "vcxproj".

The change was explicitly to make it so that a C++ project file was an MSBuild script.

Visual Studio absolutely uses MSBuild for C++ projects.
