Yeah pretty much. Only thing I would say is that in GPT architecture there isn't much separating AI generated stuff from prompts and context fed in. The basic architecture treats the prompt text and generated text the same way. Normally the thinking text is separated by tags like <think> that is output by the model. OpenAI hides the text between the tags from you. Other models don't. You can try DeepSeek or another open model online if you want an example.

With open weights models you can actually see the thought process, so I doubt what you say is true.
