Yes, I believe that is the case with Lion Air which came into effect sometime last year due to a number of incidents with tail srtikes. There was a thread on that in the South East Asia forum. So the P2Fs are only paying to fly above 5000 ft which is really not much effort with A/P engaged.

The WADD 09 VOR approach has an inbound course of 091, but it's actually off set by 5 degrees to the left of runway centerline. If you become visual just before the missed approach point, you still need to manoevure 2 DME from the threshold to line up with the runway centreline ... runway 09 has a track of 086 if I remember correctly.
