That's correct. You can't get a new plate without attaching it to a vehicle through insurance.
The $18 cost is there, hidden somewhere, whether your agent tells you or not.
Dealerships have insurance agents, but those agents are usually sourced out to an office nearby. They call and arrange for an agent to show up at the dealership when you are picking up your car. Some larger dealerships/auto malls might have an in-house insurance company that is located on site. They are not part of the dealership/auto mall though. They are just 'on-site'.
