Yes, this is the desired behavior. Overpass API doesn't return nodes of  
ways by default (or members of relations). You have to use the recurse  
statement, if you want those: http://tinyurl.com/aa68wre

You may want to learn more about the Overpass API query language(s) first  
[1]. Its worth it :)

Cheers!
