DBA_FEATURE_USAGE_STATISTICS is the view I believe you're referring to.
It's interesting though, on my database, I've run awrrpt.sql many times, and "Automatic Workload Repository" shows 0 usages. On the same database, I've run addmrpt.sql only once, and it shows 1 usage for "Automatic Database Diagnostic Monitor". So, I'm not exactly sure what's going on.
Try this on your database:
select name, detected_usages from dba_feature_usage_statistics where detected_usages > 0;
-Mark

Not sure whether there is a flag specifically for AWR, but such flags do, indeed, exist. If there is one (or more) for AWR, I'm not sure how comprehensive it is. After all, you require special licensing to select certain rows (but not others!) from certain dictionary views.
These "flags" are visible through a dictionary view. DBA_FEATURES_USED? V$FEATURES_USED? Something like that...

This has been around a few years now, and I see some bits of conversations where the assumption is made that AWR is available when troubleshooting a problem.
Such is not always the case however, as AWR is a separately licensed product.
Don't forget, ASH (Active Session History) is also part of AWR, and subject to the same licensing restrictions.
Which brings me to the poll.
http://www.misterpoll.com/polls/352785
This should take a couple of minutes at the most, as there are only 10 multiple choice questions. There is room for a written response to many of the questions as well, should you feel the need to embellish.
This poll is open until 8/31/2008. It is set to a maximum of 500 responses, which is probably sufficient.
Thanks!
