According to comments in Revisions to What is syntax highlighting and how does it work?:

There is no "objc" keyword. Please don't add things unless you actually know for sure.

Prior to adding the "objc", I tested it on a live questions. The syntax highlighting worked. (Sorry, I don't recall the question that it was verified).

Why would syntax highlighting work if there's no "lang-objc"?

The tag is a synonym for .

If you navigate to the tag wiki page for the latter, you will notice the language used for syntax highlighting is plain C (at the bottom of the page):

C language used for highlighting Objective-C code

That probably "works" because C-style syntax highlighting can be applied to Objective-C without introducing too many problems.
