Indeed (and the names are a clue). More specifically, Electron came out of the ideas in Atom, not the other way around.

Electron was originally named Atom Shell https://www.electronjs.org/blog/electron/
Atom Shell/Electron was from the very beginning something you could use separately from Atom as a framework for creating desktop apps using Chromium/Node.js.
