No, it doesn't have to.  You could have json-available-p that simply
tested one of json.c primitives to be fboundp, and if so, tried to
invoke one of them on a trivial input to see if it signals an error.

Alternatively, we could do this like decompress.c does: it would
require the test for availability to be slightly more complex:

  (and (fboundp 'json-available-p)
       (json-available-p))

Would that be good enough?
