Certainly. Here is the contents of the redhat-release, oracle-release, and os-release files. It's also worth noting that the UEK kernel is optional on OEL, so theoretically an OEL system can be running either the RHEL kernel (A recompile of the RHEL source code, just like CentOS 8 used to be before the change), or Oracle's own UEK kernel. In my experience, most people using Oracle tend to stick with the Oracle UEK kernel, though. Therefore, an OEL user could either need the RHEL configuration when compiling the DCO module, or not, depending on which kernel they were compiling against.
