Basically. Though official scripting support is what turned Roblox from a social lego game to one of the largest videogames on earth. In my own time on roblox, the biggest thing was cloud persistence for the scripting API that allowed people to make studio-level games.

Modding on GTA is still technically unsupported and unofficial. You really have a restricted sandbox for anything that R* will accept on their servers.

GTA is more like a secondlife or club penguin than it is a roblox atm.

EDIT: so modding is going towards an "official" capacity apparently. That'll be what turns GTA from clun penguin to Roblox, proverbially.
