It's only applied to Airbenders. Three out of four Avatars are not born natural airbenders, despite being able to airbend. What I mean by that, is that Avatars not born into the air nomad culture would not have the same applications. For example, Aang was born into the Air Nomad way of life, so when he mastered air they gave him his tattoos. Roku was not, so when he mastered airbending it didn't apply because he wasn't an Air Nomad despite being able to airbend.
