Remember that the role of the MIB file is simply to describe the syntax and semantics of particular MIB objects. The SNMP server does not actually use this file at all. The information supplied by the SNMP agent is typically provided via dedicated code modules, each implementing a particular sub-section of the overall MIB tree (built up from both vendor-supplied and standard MIB files). The MIB file for any given code module is effectively used as a design document for writing the code. Once the module has been implemented, the agent doesn't need the MIB file any more. So yes - all the numeric OIDs received by the agent will be interpreted internally - regardless of whether the relevant MIB file(s) are installed or not.
