I think you are missing it a bit. The data fork and resource fork

there was often a problem with resources transferring files from

resource fork file as well.
They weren't two separate files
the issue was that often the data form came first, and contained a
"end of file marker" so the resources would get dropped, But it was
definitely all in one file.
But packages did start to appear on OS 9 (perhaps late OS 8) and
those were groups of files that appeared to the user as though they
were one file even though it might actually have been a folder full
of files
