I think you may have your terms mixed up. Yes, you have to have the
repository, but the repository is always in the controlfile, and may optionally
be stored in a recovery catalog as well. You don't need the catalog in order
to restore, you only need the repository, and the one in your controlfile
should be sufficient unless you need to do a point-in-time restore to a backup
that is no longer present in your controlfile.
