Pretty much this. The elementals can dictate to conjurers of the Fane who they think should be healed or not healed (talk to Quarrymill npcs) but ultimately, the conjurer can still heal them. There's a story about a conjurer who was banished from Gridania for healing a wounded Ixal, for instance.
Also, lore from the scholasticae in Ishgard says that they too teach their students in Conjury and Thaumaturgy. Despite Ishgard's symbiotic relationship with Gridania, I highly doubt the Ishgardian conjurers pay similar homage to the elementals, even though they are well aware of their existence.
Interestingly, Arcanima and tome-summoning is considered heretical. Though select students at the scholasticae are being allowed to research its applications.
