 No, I use https://github.com/mustache/vim-mustache-handlebars for it
myself to have proper syntax highlighting, so I don't use any built-in
types.

 At least for me, it's really easy to not notice a missing brace without
syntax highlighting, while it's all but impossible with it, so I think it's
well worth it even for such simple syntax (the plugin also defines
abbreviations automatically expanding "{{" into "{{ }}" and section
movements but I didn't use those).

 If you use Pathogen, installing new plugins is as simple as "git clone
git://github.com/mustache/vim-mustache-handlebars.git" (from your
"vimfiles" directory, see ":help rtp") and uninstalling them, if you don't
like them, as simple as "rm -rf vim-mustache-handlebars", so I think there
is hardly any reason to not at least try it.
