Of course it is, and that is by design. Many of the mitzvot (correctly translated as guidelines) are job, tribe, gender, and/or location specific. For example, mitzvot that apply to farming, are only relevant to farmers, it would be ridiculous to apply such mitzvot to someone who works as a store owner in a city. Other mitzvot only apply to Temple life so without the Temple, these laws don't apply to anyone and so on.
