Do I have this right? (Origin and relationships between Node, NPM, and frameworks like Express v. other languages)

My noobtalk. Is it right? :In the beginning, there was Node, a pretty neat and popular javascript server with this really cool events loop in it.Then, people started pimping with packages for automation and other bells and whistles.Eventually, npm became a management tool for all that pimping.Finally, frameworks such as Express were built as packages for Node too.So, someone coming from say a Ruby background can think of gems and packages very similarly.One curious difference to me here is that RubyGems is a package manager for Ruby, the language, whereas NPM is a package manager for Node, the server. What's going on there?
