The Teletype Model 33 ASR may or may not meet V.24, depending on how it

the same applies to a DE9 PC "serial
port".
The DE9 PC serial port meets the EIA/TIA-232 standard electrical
characteristics (if the board is designed properly), and TIA-574
standard connector.
<grin> It would be more accurate to say that TIA-574 meets the DE9 PC
serial port "standard" (or non-standard), as the TIA standard postdates
the PC use by many years. Before that, most DE9 serial ports were wired
like microVAXen.
