Yes, the in-system memory content interface isn't provided through the RAM inference mechanism. You can implement a dual port RAM, and connect some kind of readout, e.g. through a serial interface. But you can't use the in-system memory content editor or the virtual JTAG interface in general without instantiating the respective lpm library components.
