Not necessarily: if config tells it's a non-bare repo, we could
assume, the worktree is where core.worktree tells (which per
default is "../" - relative to gitdir).

But currently it seems to be implemented as you said: running
git-status from within gitdir tells:

    "fatal: This operation must be run in a work tree"

That's not really bad, but sometimes a bit inconvenient.

Despite the fact that I doubt the usefulness of an .git file at
all, it IMHO should be interpreted as an kind of userland symlink.
