Yes, that's normal.  When you start Emacs only a very small fraction
of AUCTeX will be loaded and only customization options of this
fraction will be available.  AUCTeX's core, mode-specific files
etc. and their customization options will only be available after you
loaded a file requiring the respective features.

What version of AUCTeX and Emacs did you use?  You could use `M-x
TeX-submit-bug-report RET' next time which would provide this
information among others without you having to add this manually.

Additionally a description of what you did exactly (step by step)
would be helpful.

In case of the reference command you want to add, I can e.g. in Emacs
do `M-x customize-variable RET font-latex-match-reference-keywords
RET', click on [INS], add "fullref" (without the quotation marks) in
the gray area, click "State -> Save for Future Sessions" and after
restarting Emacs the \fullref macros will be highlighted.
