True. In german we say "Schutzhütte" (losely translates as "protectionhut") and the german wikipedia article shows good examples in pictures:http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schutzhütte (ignore the one in the lower right corner). These "shelters" are only used as a protection from bad weather. You won't voluntarily spend a night there and they won't have any facilities or even power supply. Don't you call these "shelter" in English?
A shelter is a really wide ranging thing, from a shelter at a bus stop so that you don't get so wet when it is raining while waiting for the bus, through to what you are stating. How do you tag the differences?
For a bus stop there is highway=bus_stop; shelter=yes.What about a railway station, well halt? There are some smaller stations that have a shelter that is a similar style to a bus stop shelter. How should those be tagged when you want to state the location of it along the length of the railway=platform?
