Who told you that? It has to be installed separately

Ok, You are using Windows, and in the USA

If you go to here: https://www.gimp.org/downloads/ and click on the Microsoft Windows link in:

Show downloads for GNU/Linux | OS X | Microsoft Windows | All

Gives you this

https://download.gimp.org/mirror/pub/gimp/help/windows/2.8/2.8.2/gimp-help-2-2.8.2-en-setup.exe

Download, run, it will find your Gimp installation and install help

Anyway, you did not read far enough

Nice one, but you have to remember the UNIX/now linux origins of GIMP where a package - GIMP - will install specified dependencies which could include the HELP packages.

Not the case with Windows. To include HELP with all the languages, the Gimp Windows installer would be, I don't know, maybe 100 MB larger. Not worth it.

What you do get is a built-in help browser plugin that can access the HELP files when installed.
