"General/natural" meaning, this is the inherent nature of how the car will behave. Yes, driver inputs matter, but any driver carving a smooth arc with fixed steering will experience oversteer if he gets off the gas, and understeer (below the point of incipient wheelspin) if he gets on the gas. Outside of any stability controls or electronic diff intervention, anyway...
Setup does matter, I've driven cars that would just plow no matter what because the setup was hosed. Properly set up, power-on understeer and power-off oversteer is the general rule. This is what responsive-handling cars do.
