Depends on how you look at it, I guess. RT is really the Metro (though MS now hates that word for some reason) part (frontend?) of full Win 8. It's Win 8 minus the desktop.

So I guess it depends on whether you see Metro as something added to the OS, or a part of it.

I, myself, can't decide. I enjoy using it on a hybrid touch device, but it only really feels integrated when app switching or using the new menu system to open programs.
