Yes, but not entirely.
You still have an OS with less tracking built in, and you have more control over apps & permissions (like being able to entirely block data usage for certain apps at the system level).
Yes, it's still easier for Google to invade your privacy with GApps, but let's be frank, the amount of info they can gather through Android Auto even 1 wasn't linked to other system apps is pretty staggering.
