No - the SNMP agent does *not* use the MIB file for processing SET
(or GET*) requests.  It''s up to your code to handle any validation that
might be required.  Hence the suggestion above.

The "snmpset" command does do range validation, and will simply not
send requests that it knows will fail.   But if you want the agent to
reject invalid values, then *your* code must check for these.
