Indeed, Oregon does use mail-in only for all state elections (or at least did when I lived there). Elections for federal office still have to have the option of voting in person at a polling place.
Personally, I'd like to move away from mail-in absentee ballots and go for everyone votes in person, in secret. Mail-in ballots present too many opportunities for coercion and vote-buying.
