Well sort of both actually,
The people who made the phone need to make the updates, the carrier needs to push the update out on it's network for the phones.
In super rare cases you can download the update yourself and install it, but most of the time if your carrier doesn't push out the update your stuck.
Cynogen mod and other things like it are more likely to do updates for your device depending on what it is.
