Close.
The agent only needs MIB files if you are going to be referring to
MIB objects by name in the snmpd.conf file.
The DisMan support does not inherently require MIB files,
since it will work with numeric OIDs internally.
But if you are going to use directives such as
monitor someEntry someObject > 0
then the agent needs to have access to the MIB file that defines
the MIB object "someObject".
Similarly if you are going to use directives such as
rocommunity public default system
then the agent needs to be able to translate "system" into an OID.
That's the only real requirement for the agent to have MIB files
loaded (though it does also make for more meaningful log/debug
output, of course).
