Wrong.
The MIBS environment variable decides which MIB files should be
loaded, but does not affect which MIB modules are initialized.

So that you can do something like:
view sysView included system
Without the MIB files, you'd have to do:
view sysView included .1.3.6.1.2.1.1
instead.

Those options control which MIB modules should be
initialized by the agent.
