However, I still get information about the commit oject iintsead of the
tag object. Is this expected?

Solved this one, too: Yes it is. I was misreading the docs:

"If <type> is specified, the raw (though uncompressed) contents of the <object> will be returned."

This means

$ git cat-file tag refs/tags/v0.1.2

displays the *contents* of the tag, not the tag itself. Which leads me to the next question: For a given name of an annotated tag, how to get the hash of the tag object? The solution I found for now:

$ git show-ref --tags -- v0.1.2
92b67e2b0626519ef8cd4e9cacb2bdafba6d53f0 refs/tags/v0.1.2
