Yes they expect you to know it. No, they will not train you. I had the same question.
It took me 1 year and 4 months after graduation to get an IT job. I moved up in my company and actually got an IT job that doesn't expect me to know everything. The guys that do, earn buckets more than me. I've soaked up a LOT in the past month, and I'm sure I'll be spitting some mad letter combos in the future.
My experiance was I was expected to have a degree, and all the certifications each particular employer wanted, to prove that I REALLY know it.
Like it or not, the tech field is like car mechanics. For every 1 good one, there's 10 that have no fucking clue what they're talking about, but have a degree.
