Yes, you are right.
Ubuntu comes with mono runtime installed by default, because they use
some applications running on mono in default install. Probably more and
more distributions will install mono runtime by default with time.

(On think to note - it's runtime, not compiler. You need the compiler
(gmcs) to compile your application, but then running it (as you said,
via the sh script running: mono yourapp.exe) requires the mono runime.)
