There is not a compiler inside PICO-8. It's much simpler than that. Notice how when you export something to a .bin it's nearly instantaneous? That's because it's just bundled with premade executables for Linux/macOS/Windows and then it puts those in a folder with a data.pod file which I think is just the cartridge (and possibly other platform-independent data?) and the executable knows to load that data.pod file.
