Yep, pretty much. You can usually tell by the studio doing the porting. Epic Mickey 2 was Blitz Game Studios from the UK; Borderlands 2 is Iron Galaxy Studios from the USA.
Also, I think it's a bit unfair to say that nobody wanted Borderlands 2. There was a big reddit + twitter campaign for the game to be ported back when Randy Pitchford made the comments that he wanted the game to be on Vita. Certainly the impression Sony would get from that is that there are people out there who want it.
I also think Type-0 is a bit of a unique situation. Had it been Vita-native I think we'd have seen it by now. Porting to Vita and translating it is a bit more of an undertaking. It's something SCEJ would have to handle as well, I would imagine, and although they have a 3rd party relations team they seem to be more interested in developing their own projects than porting someone else's.
