I was wondering that as well. I think they mean things lime AOSP still connects to Google's 204 page to see if your online.
My thought is, if I was Google, why would I embed any tracking in AOSP? It's right in the source code for people to see and remove (not to mention the PR headache it would cause if offending code was found). It's far easier to embed in Googly Play Services, where its far harder to find, nearly impossible to remove, and any phone that wants to use Google services has to use.
