On a US-English keyboard on the mac, you can always type the proper glyphs directly on the keyboard. That's always been harder on windows where one would have to type some numerical character code each time they wanted some non-ascii character. That's where the auto-replace originated.
On the mac:
Option [ “ (English open quote)
Option Shift [ ” (English close quote)
A lesser-known feature is that some other quotations are also possible from that same US-English keyboard:
Option \ « (French open quote)
Option Shift \ » (French close quote)
Option Shift W „ (German open quote)
