Yeah, the file contained in pong.zip (likely in your ROMs folder) is merely a schematic of the PCB called a "netlist" that we made ourselves, to be loaded by the Pong driver. We may eventually do that for Breakout and Pong Doubles but for now they (plus another version of the Pong netlist) are built into, and compiled with, MAME. So yes, they're always available.
There's about a 1.4% average performance hit at the moment between using the Pong built into MAME and using the one loaded as a fake "ROM". (That's actually come a long way).
