Exactly, just like bluetooth. Actually not just like bluetooth, as bluetooth hops away and tries again, and wi-fi slows down and tries again when there is loss.
The single 22 MHz-wide Wi-Fi channel occupies the same frequency space as 22 of the 79 Bluetooth channels which are 1 MHz wide. When a Bluetooth transmission occurs on a frequency that lies within the frequency space occupied by a simultaneous Wi-Fi transmission, some level of interference can occur, causing problems for both lag in games and unresponsive controllers.
As there is measurable slowdown using a wireless connection compared to wired ethernet when the wii remotes are idle, just think how much worse it is when playing a game and moving the the wiiremotes around transmitting all that data over overlapping channels.

There is the possibility of frequency overlap but on the Wii this does not occure.
I have/had the problem you describe with the PS3, I turn on the PS3 controllers and my wireless network takes a big hit (forcing me to connect the PS3 wired). No such problem happens with the Wii, suggesting the Wii does not overlap.

I don't know much about blue tooth, but is it possible that since the Wii knows what WiFi channel it is using it could shut off the related Blue Tooth channels so they always stay away from each other in the frequency ranges?
