IMHO there are no settlements required for a road to be tagged highway. If you strictly read this paragraph from the wiki, if a road doesn't link a settlement, it could not be tagged even tertiary. A main road can just as well lead to a train station or an airport / airfield, or to a mining area, or to a seaport or military base, no settlement required. The settlements are mentioned in the wiki, because this is what we usually expect, but there absence could be justified in some exceptional cases (like the aforementioned).
