The Python modules missing (catkin.*) are provided by the Python package catkin_pkg. It is responsible for:
* finding packages (also in the case after they have been built and installed)
* parsing the package manifest
* extracting information like registered plugins fe.g. available displays for rviz)
So yes, you do need that Python package at runtime.
