Yeah, this is the way it's been for quite a long time.

* OVR_CAPI_GL.h requires wglext.h, glext.h, and gl.h. But the only thing it uses from them is a single usage of the type GLuint in gl.h, which you could have just replaced with an unsigned int and avoided all the OpenGL headers. I had to download and add wglext.h to Dolphin for no reason.
My version of the 0.3.2 SDK doesnt do any of that:
https://github.com/jherico/OculusSDK/blob/stable/Bindings/C/Include/OVR_CAPI.h
https://github.com/jherico/OculusSDK/blob/stable/Bindings/C/Include/OVR_CAPI_GL.h
It does require the user to include a GL header of some form before you include OVR_CAPI_GL.h and will produce a compiler error to that effect if you fail to do so.

No, you really can't. You can't ever assume that GLuint is the same as unsigned int. There are tons of platforms out there and tons of compilers, not to mention tons of OpenGL versions.
