12 equal tones to the octave with the A above middle C tuned to 440Hz is
the standard.
MIDI pitch to Hz can be calculated with the formula: 440 ^ (2 * ( (x - 69)
/ 12))
Is there such thing as a default tuning
"norm" or (most probably) does
every plugin do what it wants to do?
The default or standard tuning for typical western musical instruments
is at 440Hz. There are variations, when it comes to concert pitch. I
believe that the Americans sometimes choose 441 or 442Hz. But every
hardware synth - that I know of - is tuned to 440Hz with a well-tempered
scale.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

Sure. Pretty much anything CAN be made to produce whatever pitch you want.
I think you are still safe to assume that the standard is 12TET A440.
Unless you are in the business of tuning organs or play in a period music
ensemble or something I don't think you are going to encounter one of the
well tempered tunings. I never have anyway.

Equal tempered. I've never seen a software synth or modern tuner that one of the well tempered systems.
Yoshi/Zyn has always had full microtonal capability. You can have whatever
reference frequency, scale and notes per octave you like.

Perhaps for virtual synth, but you cannot assume 12 equal temperament
for external synth. In regards to guitar tuners, you theoretically
could assume 12 equal temperament, but not all guitar tuners work very
well, IOW they often don't do what they should do.
Since the OP mentioned guitars, this should be taken into account. The
culprit most likely are bad adjusted guitars. Even an electric guitar
were it's possible to adjust the intonation, needs to be adjusted from
time to time, even when always using the same gauge of strings, always
using the same tuning and no whammy bar at all.
