The behavior is determined by the user options `TeX-insert-braces' and `TeX-insert-braces-alist'. In that sense, yes, it's intended behavior. The default value of `TeX-insert-braces' is t, which means that AUCTeX supplies a pair of brace for standard macros. (You'll notice that AUCTeX supplies braces even in math mode when there is active region.) I personally dislike this behavior, so disabled `TeX-insert-braces'. You can have per-macro control over the decision whether the braces are added or not by `TeX-insert-braces-alist'.
