Re: Do these floor trusses need studs under them
Not a problem.
There look to be 3 top plates.
Is acceptable even with only 2.

Re: Do these floor trusses need studs under them
I think the truss is installed upside down for bottom bearing. Totally different for hanging. But the photos are not hanging trusses.
Each Open Joist floor truss is marked to indicate the top and bottom of the truss. Trusses should be installed in the proper orientation as indicated by these markings. To ensure correct installation, make sure the end diagonal web of the truss is pointing downward toward the sill plate.
All installation manuals indicate same, this is one example of what other manufactures state.

Or just maybe
It was designed/ framed by professionals that had knowledge of and understood what the code allows.
Sorry John
Added in edit
I don't like to delete a post, so I add an edit or explanation instead.
Since the OPs question was about the joist not bearing on top of the studs, it did not occur to me that John may be referring to the joist being placed upside down (as Raymond pointed out). Making my comment out of place.
That said
Sorry John
