I am confused by the distinction.  How can I tell?  I am mostly
confused by servers in Gnus.

I just performed another test.  I can G c a new group and it appears
correctly in gnus-newsrc-alist:

    ("nnfolder:test-2"
     (3 . 1)
     ((1 . 1))
     nil
     (nnfolder "")
     ((timestamp 15312 50110)))

And for the duration of the session I can use the group fine.

Then I exit and re-start Gnus.  This bogus group is prepended to
gnus-newsrc-alist:

    ("test-2" 3 nil nil)

The original group remains, but is not visible in the group buffer.

    ("nnfolder:test-2"
     (3 . 1)
     ((1 . 1))
     nil
     (nnfolder "")
     ((timestamp 15312 50110)))

And maybe this can help answer your original question?

    (insert (pp gnus-opened-servers)) -->

    (((nnfolder "")
      ok)
     ((nndraft "")
      ok)
     ((nnfolder "archive"
		(nnfolder-directory "~/g/Mail/archive")
		(nnfolder-active-file "~/g/Mail/archive/active")
		(nnfolder-get-new-mail nil)
		(nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t))
      ok)
     ((nntp "news.speakeasy.net")
      ok)
     ((nnml "")
      ok))
