It sure seems to me there should be a (large) fuse in the line near the battery to it to protect against fire in case that wire should short out to the chassis. The only possible exception I could see would be if the battery and generator were immediately adjacent and the wire were very short.
The starter lead for the generator on my motorhome is protected by the battery main fuse, and it was wired that way from the factory.
Yes you are exactly right, the fuse is close to the battery and came that way from the factory.
