It may or may not be grounded properly. Especially older locations.

The power supply only has two prongs. Please get your facts straight.

You need a common grounding point between the ONT and the house ground. Even if the power supply was grounded through the house power outlet, you still need a direct ground from the ONT to the home's power ground wire.

With your logic, if a cable modem or TV connected to cable is plugged into a grounded power outlet, then the cable wouldn't need a ground block.
