Yes. And this is normal, indeed, though not necessarily obvious at first
sight.
RegionPlot accepts the same options as Graphics, nevertheless it uses
frames around the plot and disables any axis. (You can see the options
and their settings by evaluating Options[RegionPlot], and see that Axes
-> False). The axes being turned off, the option AxisLabel is without
effect, regardless of its actual value.
So to see the labels, we should use FrameLabel as in the following example:
RegionPlot[y <= x^2, {x, -1, 1}, {y, 0, 1}, FrameLabel -> {"x", "y"}]
