That's correct.
The agent doesn't provide any information unless you
configure it to do so.

Yes.

There is no "default community".
You need to specify the community to use in both the
snmpd.conf file, and when sending SNMP requests.

"public" is the most common choice for "open-access",
but you need to explicitly say that you want to use this.
We don't make that decision for you.

Because much of that code pre-dates the mib2c mechanism
by several years.  We do occasionally re-write a particular
MIB-2 group, and that tends to switch to one of the mib2c
frameworks.  But in general, we've concentrated on writing
new MIBs, rather than re-working existing ones.
