Yes, Apple did. A friend has that particular Lombard configuration: PowerPC G3 333 MHz, CD-ROM media bay module, no built-in DVD decoder.

My Lombard (nearly all the 333 models too) has the plain CD. I don't believe DVD playback is supported in OSX either, even for the 400mhz models with built-in decoding. I know it isn't for the PC card decoders. You can pick up cheap CDRW or even combo modules from the PC side of eBay and swap the drives out.
