This is certainly not the case. Other than the DNS option in RA (which enables hosts to get minimal internet connectivity) there has been a conscious effort to avoid overlap between DHCPv6 and RA based configuration. Lot of the thinking as to why this has been done is documented in RFC5505 (Section 2.3).
