According to
http://web.mta.info/accessibility/rail.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; :
"Many MTA commuter rail cars have designated seating for individuals with disabilities and senior citizens, as well as special wheelchair areas where the seats fold up to provide adequate floor space. Please station your wheelchair in the special area or position it in the vestibule area with wheels locked. "
The page covers both MNR and LIRR, without specifying specific types of rail cars... so I think you answered your own question - "many does not equal all."
It's been awhile, but if I am not mistaken, accessible cars also have a handcapped logo decal on the exterior sides.
