No it doesn’t. It’s a federated service that’s controlled by the GSMA. Services are either provided by your phone provider or Google.

But the licencing is not controlled by Google but by the GSM Alliance (the same organisation that controls the GSM cell standard)

From what ive seen the phone providers are using googles backend software called “Google Jibe”. Its theoretically open, but in practice everyone depends on googles stack and the entire concept of RCS would immediately cease existing if google willed it.
Also by the fact that it doesnt work on degoogled phones you can surmise that google has the ability to disable or limit the feature on any device with google play services.
Its just inherently flawed and clearly an attempt at “open washing”
