A normal wallet is able to hold standard tokens (like the ones you mentioned) naturally, as any address actually can.

Standard tokens are not distributed the same way as native ether. the wallet you are creating can have ether transferred to it directly. but or the tokens, the token contract is the one that holds the number of tokens you have as balance in a simple table-like structure where the key is your address and the value is how many tokens you have.

wallets like Metamask will query those tokens for your balance of that token, by sending in your address. that's why you have to manually add the tokens you think you have balance in as assets.

hope this clarifies.
