As a former Emacs maintainer and as de-facto maintainer of (Non)GNU
ELPA, I think the answer here is "yes", basically.
There are some packages which we want to include in Emacs itself, either
because they're expected to be used by a large fraction of Emacs users,
or because they're used by other packages included in Emacs, but for
most of the rest we prefer to accept new packages into GNU ELPA than
into Emacs, because it offers more flexibility (e.g. in terms of
release schedules).
AFAIK there are still plans to have some amount of integration between
Emacs and GNU ELPA where some GNU ELPA packages would get included in
Emacs releases, thus blurring the line between the two a bit more.
This said, these plans have been in existence for several years, so
don't hold your breath :-(
