By "crossover" do you mean some manner of frequency division so that each speaker is only supplied a frequency range it can reproduce? If so, then you are correct, as the OEM system uses an active crossover design in the amplifier.
But so do many after-market models. An unit that provides individual output for low-, mid- and high-range speakers wouldn't need a crossover. Such a unit would need to have at least 8-10 speaker output pairs. A simple 4 output "stereo" would need a crossover, as you suggest. A simple passive crossover or filter on each output would suffice, although an active one would be better. More complex/expensive/troublesome-to-install though!
