Do you mean the radius server can be only used for password authentication in case of ssh/telnet?

Yes.

Can't we login using the centralized username/password?

No, that can't work. Let's say that you were authenticated and reached the shell as a nonexistant local user. How is he suposed to access anything or execute any commands? No permissions would apply to him.
