I believe your assumption is wrong. CoreServices is not open source,
and this looks like it confirms my suspicion:
(from <CoreFoundation/CFURL.h>)
#if !defined(DARWIN)
struct FSRef;
CF_EXPORT
CFURLRef CFURLCreateFromFSRef(CFAllocatorRef allocator, const struct
FSRef *fsRef);
CF_EXPORT
Boolean CFURLGetFSRef(CFURLRef url, struct FSRef *fsRef);
#endif /* !DARWIN */
