It is just a standard method used by compilers to allow us to use the same set of read-only library source across a broad range of parts and code styles without requiring external file dependancies. 

ST allows project specific defines in an stm32xyz_conf.h file which gets pulled if USE_STDPERIPH_DRIVER  is defined. A selection of other defines and include files get pulled in by that.

You could review the pre-processor output to see what the compiler is working with.

It is instructive to review the template projects and the meta data used by your chosen tool chain.
