No the oil is NOT supposed to be in there.
IF the bike leans and oil gets on the ignition points it will not run for very long.
You just put a high temp grease on the points cam. A very small amount smeared on.

The points rub on that cam, and that is why you put the grease on the points cam.
OIL does not belong in that case.
