Firstly, AIX definitely has shared libraries.  Check out:

Secondly I don't get anything from

dump -nv *.a | awk '/ EXP / {print $NF}'

either.

AIX doesn't have shared libraries.  It has shared objects, which may be put inside archive libraries, by themselves or with other shared or unshared objects.

AIX shared objects needn't be named "shr.o".  That's a convention used my many AIX developers for shared objects created by binding multiple objects into a single shared object for placement in an archive library.  (This prebinding offers a startup performance advantage but isn't necessary; you can have multiple shared objects in a single library resolve against one another, with the appropriate import/export files.)

Try

        dump -nv *.a | awk '/ EXP / {print $NF}'

to see a list of symbols exported by shared objects in your archives.
