They didn't confirm all your suspicions
The onboard chipset isn't the same as onboard video.
GeForce = video
nForce = chipset
The chipset handles onboard sound and other areas of the motherboard. Like the post above said, it "lets everything talk to each other." There are other types of chipsets also (such as VIA).
Also, I wouldn't bet on the orange heatsink being for the onboard video. That's probably on the Northbridge section of the chipset. The other section of the chipset, the Southbridge, is the chip below it on the right (without a heatsink). I could be wrong.
