Yes, it's normal. From OS X 10.7 (Lion) onward the operating system is provided without disks. The operating system is downloaded direct from Apple via the Mac App store. Your hard drive has a "Recovery" partition included which you can boot to by pressing Command + R during the boot cycle. The Recovery partition is used for maintenance and repair plus it can also be used to re-download the operating system if the need should arise. Apple also sells a Lion bootable flash drive for $69 direct. They may also do the same for Mountain Lion but we don't know that for sure.
