No.
It's part of the overall SNMPv3 *framework*.
It isn't purely linked to use with SNMPv3 requests.
See the FAQ entry:
I don't understand the new access control
stuff - what does it mean?

Good news: Yes - the SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB (RFC 2576)
Bad news: No - the Net-SNMP agent doesn't support this MIB
(and the 'com2sec' settings can't be configured via SNMP)

You should tell the agent to re-read the config, yes.
But it's not necessary to completely restart the agent.
Either send the agent a HUP signal, or set the
UCD-SNMP-MIB::versionUpdateConfig.0 instance to 1

The N/W admin edits the snmpd.conf file, not the agent.

N/A
