That's correct.
The library has a list of MIB files to load by default.
If you have a MIB that isn't on this list, you must explicitly request
that it be added - either as a one-off for a particular command:
snmptranslate -m +GWMTA-MIB
or add it to the default list
echo mibs +GWMTA-MIB >> $HOME/.snmp/snmp.conf
See the FAQ entry
How do I add a MIB to the tools?
(http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ:Applications_02)
for details.

Because it's not on the default list.
The library opens the file, and notes which MIB it contains, so that it
can be loaded if required. But it doesn't parse the MIB file automatically.

No - that'll be the code to *implement* these objects, and is only
relevant to the agent. Client-side tools (such as snmptranslate)
only work with the MIB file.
If you don't load the MIB file, then the client-side tools won't
recognise the names of MIB objects defined within it. This is
completely separate from whether the agent implements these
objects or not.
The agent can implement objects that the tools don't know about
(in which case, the results will be displayed using numeric OIDs).
And the tools can load MIBs that the agent doesn't implement
(in which case, these values won't appear in the tool output at all)
The client and server side processing are two completely different
things.
