SE contracted them out to develop Dragon Quest VIII and IX, but that's the extent of their relationship.
They are fully independent, though the majority of their games were paid for and published by Sony. Dark Cloud 1/2, Rogue Galaxy, Jeanne D'Arc, and White Knight Chronicles are all Sony IPs.
Though I suppose with the recent PSP and DS announcements, assuming the PSP games aren't being paid for by Sony, then I guess they now publish the majority of their own games. Prior to Inazuma Eleven and Prof. Layton, they hadn't published published a thing themselves. And even Layton was published by Nintendo outside of Japan.
