As far as I can tell, it does -- what version of the font do you have 
and how are you displaying its inventory?

It does have a jump between 04F9 (ӹ, end of Cyrillic) and 0531 (Ա, 
beginning of Armenian), but I'm seeing lots and lots of non-Russian 
Cyrillic characters beginning at 0452 (ђ). It has obsolete letters like 
0462 (Ѣ), as well as full sets for Serbian, Bulgarian, all the Central 
Asian languages, etc.

I only have version 1.01 of August 6, 1990, but that appears to be the 
current version. It's installed automatically with Windows XP and also 
comes as an option with Office products from 2000 onward.

MS says:

Note -- If you are using Microsoft Windows XP, the universal font for 
Unicode is automatically installed.

Arial Unicode MS font is a full Unicode (Unicode: A character encoding 
standard developed by the Unicode Consortium. By using more than one 
byte to represent each character, Unicode enables almost all of the 
written languages in the world to be represented by using a single 
character set.) font. It contains all of the characters, ideographs, and 
symbols defined in the Unicode 2.1 standard.
