No, they're not enough, they would allow you to use the usual Adobe 
Garamond versions. To make use  of the expert encoding sets you would 
have to install some work of Walter Schmidt:

The ZIP archive has the file doc/fonts/adobe/agaramon.txt which should 
explain quite a lot!

There is an encoding issue I too do not understand (I hope at least 
members of the fontinst team do so) that makes it necessary to keep the 
'original' 8a encoded file. The fontinst procedure re-encodes from 
Adobe (8a) to the standard TeX text encoding 8r. In the map file it 
would be explained how to track this for the PS or PDF output files 
(DVI does not need to know that because it uses directly the re-encoded 
VF and TFM files, of which dvips or dvipdfm have no knowledge):

padr8r  AGaramond-Regular  "TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont" <8r.enc 
<padr8a.pfb

which seems to be not true for the expert encodings:

padr8x  AGaramondExp-Regular        <padr8x.pfb

There is an easy rule of thumb: whenever you add or delete a file or 
more from the system's TeXMF trees (/usr/local/teTeX/...) you need to 
run texhash. If you do it in your personal area, ~/Library/texmf, to 
don't need to because the standard setting for teTeX is to search every 
time the whole of your local tree. Since it's much smaller than the 
system's one you don't waste that much time.
