Correct. Also as explained in the book LearningSpark2.0 by Databiricks:

Unified Analytics
While the notion of unification is not unique to Spark, it is a core component 
of its design philosophy and evolution. In November 2016, the Association for 
Computing Machinery (ACM) recognized Apache Spark and conferred upon its 
original creators the prestigious ACM Award for their paper describing Apache 
Spark as a “Unified Engine for Big Data Processing.” The award-winning paper 
notes that Spark replaces all the separate batch processing, graph, stream, and 
query engines like Storm, Impala, Dremel, Pregel, etc. with a unified stack of 
components that addresses diverse workloads under a single distributed fast 
engine.
