It used to. The tree I use turns on the MEM bit if a memory range was allocated, and the IO bit if an IO range was assigned. I believe I inherited this code from the old linuxbios PCI code, and in my opinion it's correct. I don't see any value in not setting the command bits; it just complicates the possible range of ways that hardware could be configured when the OS arrives and examines it.
