I doubt that you could create spatial indexes without at least the mdsys schema 
being installed.  This would also have legal implications since Locator is only 
officaly available with Standard or Enterprise

As far as i know:

The missing of the spatial option does not necessarily mean that the 
datatype mdsys.sdo_geometry and the filter functions sdo_filter (which 
is used by MapInfo) are not available. In the Standard Edition the 
Spatial Option ist not included, but it is allowed to use the above 
functionality. It is not allowed to use the special spatial functions 
like sdo_relate, coordsys-transformations etc, for that you will need 
the enterprise edition.

Maybe it is worth a try

Regards

Markus
