I tend to generally agree with this; but I do feel that 'writers' do get often detailed in their character as well. I certainly try to write a character as a character but consider how this individual character will perceive or do something; ie. timeline/teleportation, things that the character might eat- etc. So I tend to think that is more of a thought of someone who generally creates concepts for their character whether it's a writer/rper or an immersion-rper. I feel this can be done without becoming one's character; as it were.
I think it's not really a 'you are or you aren't' thing; it's more of a sliding scale. If it were binary, I'd say the distinguishing factor is the immersion-trending RPer's meticulous consideration of their surroundings.
The thing to consider though is that it's not really about becoming one's character, but knowing, completely (and I stress completely; or close to it as possible), the context of their actions.
