Thank you for using Ubuntu and reporting this bug. The 'status' command is intended to only report the ufw managed rules as well as some other information. Eg:

$ sudo ufw status
Status: loaded
Logging: on
Default: deny

To Action From
22:tcp ALLOW 192.168.2.0/24

This is not intended as a replacement for 'iptables -n -L'. In fact, displaying rules from /etc/ufw/*.rules would likely cause more confusion because the user would not be able to manage rules in these files with the ufw command. I do agree that the documentation should be more clear on this point however, and I will update it accordingly.
