Cheapy guitars are often not setup if they come right out of the box. The factory sets the strings high and uses really cheap strings which should be changed.. On the other hand, if you buy a guitar from a music store it should have a basic setup. Intonation and truss rod adjustment. You may need to ask them to do it.
If you switch to heavier strings then a truss rod adjustment may also be needed. it depends on your comfort zone with string height.
Sometimes a setup can be perfect right out of the box but, that is usually the more expensive guitars.
