Yes, it is part of the apparmor-utils package so it isn't a required part of the default install, you will need to run it as root to be able to collect as much information as possible. All the information collected by aa-status is available manually (its just raw in a raw form) if you don't want to or can't install apparmor-utils. via.
> sudo cat /sys/kernel/security/apparmor/profiles
> sudo ps auxZ

Another package you might consider installing is apparmor-notify which will give you gui notifications when apparmor is blocking access. If you do install it see man aa-notify for information on how to turn it on, as there is currently a bug where it isn't turned on by default when it is installed.
