This is what I had assumed as well, so thanks for confirming!
Not sure how what you mean by "native" though. Flatpak apps don't run in some kind of virtualization, do they? Or you mean native to the package system?
Native as in how Flatpaks are a universal package format while AUR is Arch-specific. There are some occasional quirks in some Flatpak apps. For instance, Flatpak Localsend does not detect the system accent colour, while the AUR version does. It's not a problem for most apps though.
Yeah Flatpak applications need access to some portal or something I guess in order to gain access to stuff.
Meh, I like it. I use it for stuff I don't necessarily trust, like Slack, Discord (which hasn't been launched for a while now...), Steam (higher trust in that than the others though), etc. Non-free stuff. ๐
