While not every software might support KML/KMZ format natively, many can add support for these formats with plugins or similar extensions. In case of dwg to kml conversion, it's probably a matter of export of vector graphics or geometry.

However, it is not perfect and sometimes can show results which are not really usable because of how certain programs work with files and the possible conversion is thus actually not possible at all.

DWG
Files with dwg extension are used for the original CAD format originally introduced in Autodesk AutoCAD. The latest version of DWG format is usuaually proprietary and can only be created in AutoCAD. Other CAD programs can usually import it but not create its proprietary form. Because of this, DWGs are often exported to DXF interchange format so that they can be seamlessly used in other CAD programs.
KML
Files with kml extension can be usually found as navigation/map files saved in Google's KML (Keyhole Markup Language) file format.
