Yes, for almost all gtlds and cctlds that is the case

They're not necessarily shown in a whois, and that in no way stops 
t'interwebbyfacetweetnet functioning exactly as designed.
For example there are no nameservers listed on a current .tel whois for 
nic.tel yet whois.nic.tel resolves ok

Indeed because that data is available through other 'correct' methods, 
following good-old 3rd-normal-form of db design would say that is a good 
reason not to have it in rds/whois !

You mentioned gated access, which we were discussing about in terms of 
gated access to RDS :)
