Does it mean that there are no devices on this bus that can do DMA?

Usually there should be a dma-ranges property to identify that DMA
is possible and what the limits are, though we have failed to enforce
that.

Also note that the #address-cells=<1> means that any device under
this bus is assumed to only support 32-bit addressing, and DMA will
have to go through a slow swiotlb in the absence of an IOMMU.
