That would be fair, although the boundary blurs, because of that
well-known process that Grizzly Bear is calling lua-fication: a large
C/C++ project where increasingly large bits of Lua get integrated.
Pragmatic no-nonsense people like game programmers understand this,
since they aren't that religious about 'C++ for everything':  the
business logic/game play/whatever is much faster to develop in Lua.

llua is sufficiently lightweight that it could be also used for
non-trivial Lua C modules, if C99 isn't a problem (and even that's
fixable).
