Yes - that's correct.

Remember that the client (snmpwalk) doesn't actually know when
it's received the last entry from the entityStateTable.   All it can do
is issue a GETNEXT request on each OID, and check whether the
response still lies in the area of interest.

When it receives what is actually the last entry in the table,
it issues a GETNEXT on this OID, and receives the next valid
instance (from the ccCopyTable).   That lies outside the
entityStateTable, so snmpwalk knows that it's finished.

But it does need to make that last "unnecessary" request,
in order to find this out.
   That's the way SNMP works.
