Dune is not a dependency manager, it is a build tool. Opam is the dependency manager. By default, Dune doesn't fetch dependencies, opam does that. That said, Dune does use opam, yeah.

I suppose it is still going to use opam internally, right?

No, it is doing its own package management implementation.
