Yes, but consideration of it seems to elude many economists excepting some heterodox. And notice, it does include microfoundations (individuals) along with meso (institutions) and macro (society). As you say, so obvious as not be worth mentioning, except that so many seem to either miss it entirely, or ignore in their work by assuming representative agency for methodological convenience in spite of having to oversimplify.
