That shouldn't have happened. It was only quite recently that Google banned Huawei from their Google Mobile Services(GMS). However I believe "GEM-703L" might be a Chinese version device, which wouldn't have had GMS on it from new, and it could have been installed after the fact.

Go into Settings and check if install from unknown sources is enabled or not.
