Grub can boot from any partition that bios can find, and you'd instruct

With the typical installation, doesn't the file system on the
partition have to be one that Grub understands?
Yes, grub needs to know enough about the filesystem structure to find
its files. But it knows nothing about where or if that filesystem would
be mounted when the OS is up and running - which is the part you need to
know when you modify those files.
