While it's unlikely as it would spell the demise of the manufacturer/brand if made public, yes.
If the manufacturer installed VNC and connected out to a remote server when you came online, yes, this could happen.
You could use WireShark on your PC/Mac attached to the same network to see if the tablet was sending VNC (or similar) data to or from a remote location fairly easily.
It's a well known fact that Apple installed "Keys-dropping" software on their devices to track what you do, but I don't believe it was a 2-way connection. I believe the data was just reported, but not received by the device.

However, many controversy issues have successfully been kept hidden from the public, even when they were related to a company that might have 30000+ employees (no examples at this time). I'm keeping open the possibility that some people (not just one), who work with the cargo (logistics), hardware components and software (project managers, coders, etc.) could make it happen that devices with bypassable security features end up into the stores. Device itself was bought (buy me) from the webstore with all the wrapping and package unopened.
