I think your assumption is correct. As far as I am aware, the apt history.log files are maintained by the apt process regardless of whether or not widget is enabled. Widget (if enabled) looks there to find when updates have happened and displays the time since the most recent.
I don't have widget enabled, but the apt logs are still up to date - here's mine now showing an update just completed at 20:41:51
The fact that your history.log file had no dates in is a mystery (at the moment).
The apt log gets archived every month, but widget will look through the current log first and if it can't find a valid date there it then scans through the archived logs until it finds one.
Do you run a script to clear logs by any chance ?
Perhaps the one in lite tweaks ?
If you did that would explain the symptom.
