Fios is fiber optic. I am fairly certain Comcast is not. You can’t just hook your modem up to whatever is run into the apt and choose. And that box probably could have been the demarcation point? I don’t know. The two I have had installed weren’t that same color. It just needs to be run from the street to your building or at least just hooked up. Fios can tell you that you have it in your area but it may not be set up for your building yet.

To your edit, the apt office probably knows what is installed already, not what can be installed. I had them install it in an apt building I was in, everyone else had comcast. They did have to run wires though. They had to add a demarcation point (It was a box, it is where the line comes in to the building.)

Check to see if Fios is available in those buildings anyway. You might still be able to get Fios or have it put in. Personally, I cannot stand Comcast. I had it a couple of times and it would always get worse the more people were home. I have gotten Fios set up at places that were not already wired for it before. It is always worth asking.
