Either that or of masm32?

because masm is made by Microsoft I would assume that the masm generates valid object files (correct binary format)

The test you mention uses the assembler of VC 8.

I assumed that MS VC uses masm - is this assumption not correct?
 
Would there be any way to tell? Or better even, a way around it?

around what? not to use masm? if yes you would have to provide the assembler code in the syntax your assembler tool understands and
you still have to provide object files in MS PE binary format.
