As far as I know GTAIV being exchanged for Agent is just rumour. But Sony definitely had a long term deal with Rockstar since the start of this gen, Jack Tretton mentioned how they were dissapointed Rockstar hadn't anything to show for them yet after making the deal years ago, at the last E3.
About LA Noire being funded by Sony, that is certainly true:

Kristan Reed: How are you funding the project? Has SCEA given you an advance or is this self-funded and totally independent?
Brendan McNamara: The project is wholly funded by Sony Computer Entertainment America. We have a long-term exclusive arrangement with SCEA.
