This is correct.
In fact, it's entirely possible to have a launcher app which doesn't have
the concept of a default App Drawer app (but you could still add any app
drawer app you want).

For example, in iOS, the launcher app doesn't have the concept of an app
drawer app (and you can't add an app drawer app, because they don't exist).

And LG is toying with releasing an Android launcher app that doesn't have
the concept either.

They're two totally separate things:
a. Launcher app (the entire look and feel)
b. App Drawer app (just the apps you have installed)

Yup. And you can delete that icon, so that some people can't find it
because it's in the app drawer app, which is hidden. Heh heh ...
