No you don't. I give as a counterexample dumpasn1, which knows nothing about message types or schemas, but parses any (valid) ASN.1 you throw at it. (The ASN.1 filter I mentioned earlier is a stripped-down version of dumpasn1. Remember that dataset of 400K broken certs that NISCC generated a few years ago and that broke quite a number of ASN.1-using apps (and filesystems when you untarred it :-)? It processed all of those without any problems).
