Doesn't that rule assume that there was either a tag attempt by the catcher, or that the catcher had possession of the ball in the vicinity of home plate?

It doesn't make sense for an umpire to be yelling, "No tag!", when a runner crosses the plate while the ball is still in the outfield.

yes, it does. but it also means you are alerting the defense on the runner missing the plate if the catcher makes no attempt.
