If full scan means call mtd_block_isbad() for each PEB, then yes.

Which are never returned by ubi_io_read().

Why is it useless?

if we have the following bytes starting from address 0xC0000000:
7B 11 D6 9F

then we do:

unsigned int *p = 0xC0000000;
printk("%#x\n", *p);

we should see:

0x7B11D69F on BE system (e.g., powerpc)
and
0x9FD6117B on LE system (e.g., x86).
