It's a little more complex than that these days, especially with the non-arcade stuff.
MAME is above all else a hardware emulator, that strives to emulate hardware as well as possible while also cataloguing a large library of software that uses that hardware, and how the two interact.
I've said before it would actually be nice to have various dev-developed hardware test modules in there too that could easily verify behaviour of certain custom chips in MAME against the PCB, such things would be incredibly useful for catching sneaky regressions etc.
That doesn't mean something like this would automatically be added however, although it can't be ruled out either, especially not if people are using it on real hardware. The current development scene for systems is still a valid scene, and ultimately does need documenting somewhere for things that have real worth. For things that have no worth there's HBMAME, which would still be better off being called misfitMAME.
