Is frostbite avoidable without electric heating? Should I add heat to my coop?

That's a good idea! And make sure there is one outside as well so you can compare.

Also, keep the coop is dry as possible.

My chickens avoid going outside in freezing temps if its raining or snowing.

Smart birds

Sounds like I'm doing everything backwards... but it's working.

My coop is bone dry and wind/draft free.

Yep, and that is why it is important to allow more coop space per bird in cold climates than in warm climates.
