That would seem really weird to me in a BYOD situation. When you comingle business and personal devices, both parties can open themselves up to liability unless they set expectations in advance. Heck, in California BYOD may require you reimburse your employees for the use of their devices, depending on what your expectations are and how you word it, so a well-written policy is basically essential. I don't necessarily disagree with you that the documentation might not exist, but to me that would indicate that the people running the business don't really know what they're doing. Does it make a difference, legally? I'm not sure! I'm not a lawyer, so I can't say.
