Do the other charsets registrations indicate whether they can be used with 
MIME text media types or not?

Strictly speaking, the ISO 8859-n series are only graphic character sets,
i.e., they are only specifying code positions 0x20 to 0x7e and 0xa0 to 0xff;
they are silent about code positions 0x00 to 0x1f, 0x7f, and 0x80 to 0x9f
which is where CR and LF go.
