That's correct.

"make clean" removes the files that "make all" creates.  *.gmo are
included in the distribution, so "make all" doesn't create them.

"make distclean" removes all but the files in the distribution.  That's
why even "make distclean" doesn't remove *.gmo.

"make maintainer-clean" is not strictly defined.  Usually it removes the
files that the maintainer can rebuild.  It removes *.gmo files.

gettext follows the GNU coding standards that describe this behavior.
Read "info standards" for details.
