I would think you will have to go thru C&I at AGP regardless of where your final destination is as long as you werent starting from another Shergen Country. I did a NY-MAD-AGP on IB and didnt see my bag till AGP where it was separated from those flying MAD-AGP and we had to claim it in a different area and go thru Customs. So if you are flying from non-Shergen and end up in AGP Id imagine you would have to get your bag in the same area I had to, then once you have them whats to stop you from simply going on your merry way. HOWEVER, if theres an official rechecking in you dont do that then Id assume your return portion (if any) will be CXed. I would go as if Im gonna take the bus and see what occurs to the others, if they simply put their bags into the bus and no one is checking them off any list, then you might simply walk away
