Yes - that's pretty standard for most agents.

Whether you have the MIB files or not makes absolutely no
difference to whether the agent will return this information.
The agent relies on *code* to do this - the MIB files are just
useful for pretty-printing the output.
If the agent doesn't include the relevant code, then it
doesn't matter how many MIB files you install, it won't
return this info. Conversely, if it does include the relevant
code, then it *will* be able to return this information, even
if it doesn't have any MIB files at all.
See the (latest) FAQ entry:
Do I actually need the MIB files?
