Yes, you are right that the Questa Altera FPGA Edition does not support advanced verification features. Please refer to the Knowledge Base article below for details:
Error: (vsim-1) Unable to checkout verification license - required for testbench features (randomize, randcase, randsequence, covergroup) | Altera Community - 341859
