Yes, SVG-as-image is sandboxed (no script or references to external files) but in browsers it still uses the full web rendering engine, just with those features blocked.

The goal with the "SVG Native" subset was to be able to create SVG renderers that didn't need a full web engine & its security/sandboxing model. The graphics would be a more direct equivalent to Android "drawable" vector graphics.
