No. Third party publishers do not publish independent games by definition. See difference between third party publishers and independent developers here.

From that link you posted it seems like the only real difference between indie devs & 3rd party is that indies have a much smaller marketing budget and don't always publish themselves.
It's a distinction that doesn't really seem to have relevance within the context of this discussion, so I'm not quite sure what your point is...
In general I think people refer to 3rd parties as any company who develops a game independently of any console maker. By which definition indie devs would be included.
