No. A geotiff can be a tiff with georeferencing information (projection,
extends, resolution). The difference between r.out.tiff output and
r.out.gdal output is what kind of information is exported: color rules
for r.out.tiff, cell values for r.out.gdal. As an example, use some
elevation data in one of the sample datasets, set different color rules,
export each time with r.out.tiff and with r.out.gdal. r.out.tiff output
(pixel values) is dependent on the current color rules, r.out.gdal
output (pixel values) stays the same (as long as you don't change the
region), but the embedded color table may change.
