yes, it is because of the Lite version - the Lite uses a special (and reduced) version of the RTP that is always included.
Because it is a smaller example of the regular RTP, you can't use the regular RTP setup anyway and the smaller size also meant that there is less problem with download sizes (the reason for the option to include RTP or not is that people who have several RM-Games installed don't need to download the same pictures for every one of them)
