Yes.

No, but they don't have a version number, or there is a symlink
to the file with the version number, e.g. for cpp:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  72348 2015-05-01 22:57:51 cpp-4.9.info.gz
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     15 2015-05-05 22:52:55 cpp.info.gz -> cpp-4.9.info.gz

For automake, there's just:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   3206 2016-02-13 22:03:15 automake-1.15.info.gz

$ grep -i automake /usr/share/info/dir
* aclocal-invocation: (automake-1.15)aclocal Invocation.
* automake-invocation: (automake-1.15)automake Invocation.
* Automake: (automake-1.15).    Making GNU standards-compliant Makefiles.
