It depends on the ones you get. For example, shimano sells theirs without brake levers, which would make it hard to have pre-bled.

Hayes are sold 'ready to install', but unless your bike fits their hose lengths
fairly closely you may have to adjust the length, which means refilling and
bleeding the system. Variations on the same theme for other hydraulic
disks.
