systemd parses your crontab and runs the jobs inside on its own terms
of course you can run Cron as well and run all your jobs twice in two different ways, but that's only pedantically possible as it's a completely useless way to do things.

systemd itself only has 2 references to "crontab" in its entire codebase and both of those are in man-pages.
My educated guess is that some other package is installing a generator to generate systemd units out of the crontab (e.g. https://github.com/systemd-cron/systemd-cron)
