If audio is any guide, since OSX 10.3 Apple has provided onboard Audio Unit processing via CoreAudio, a system which theoretically competes with pre-existing proprietary plugin formats such as VST, MotU Audio System, etc. It transpires that all the premier audio applications rapidly moved to support CoreAudio and Audio Units alongside their proprietary plugin formats. I'd be surprised if Adobe don't provide support for CoreImage plugins. If they don't, and if audio is any kind of guide, some 3rd. party will rapidly release a hosting plugin to enable CoreImage plugins to run inside Photoshop.
