Yes, it means you are not able to use * (a.k.a. glob() function) in
the shell which increases a lot security and other (misuse) concerns.
Instead you have to use `find` or similar tools to collect the list of
the files of your interest.

To me it's less error prone to have something like this:

while [ $# -gt 1 ]; do # notice the condition, btw
  case "$1" in
  opt_with_parameter) ...; shift;;
  toggler_opt) ...;;
  esac
  shift
done

Either way it's minor.
