Pretty much. MAME's goal is to emulate what it can emulate - in this case, the inputs/controls/graphics/scoring so you could essentially 'replace' a copy of MAME running a pinball game and place in an actual pinball game, hook up the controls and have it be the same behavior.
That's not to say there might not be enhancement in the future. Artwork support, while currently a bit too limited, might in fact get some revamping in the near future to better allow for interaction with much of the physical part of these 'mechanical' games and others.
As of right now, only a couple developers have even touched anything pinball yet and only a driver or two really do anything currently. It's hoped that this tide will change..
