Yes, plugins not listed in the client configuration file are enabled by default, except for dangerous plugins if safe checks are enabled. [Dangerous plugins are those in the categories destructive_attack, denial, and kill_host -- ie, those which "in theory" may harm targets.] You may wish to use my update-nessusrc script to make managing plugins in client configuration files easier -- you can enable / disable by category, family, risk level, and plugin ids.
