Sort of. It doesn't give you as much isolation, and typically doesn't
come with tools to make it easier to move code from branch to branch
in the same way a distributed SCM allows you to move code from workspace
to workspace.

Agreed.
The connection here is "isolation". A distributed SCM gives you isolation
of workspaces. Once you have that, it's more natural to think of isolation
of binary repositories as well.
