It is built as a module, rather than included in the monolithic kernel.
It's possible to get it to autoload, but easier to just load it yourself
in one of the rc files.

No, not at all. Recompiling your kernel involves reconfiguring it with
the options you want, and then compiling and installing a new kernel
image and modules.
"insmod" simply loads one of the drivers (modules) that wasn't built
into the monolithic kernel. It's only there as long as the system
doesn't reboot, or you don't remove it. "rmmod" will unload the module
if it isn't in use.
