No, that really doesn't capture the field of options available at the
moment.
Type 1 CGI and Servlets enable the WebMaster to have Web Pages
dynamically generated by a process or thread controlled by the web server.
The CGI specification and Servlet specification are not related in any way
other than the problem that they are trying to solve.
Type 2 ASP, JSP, and GSP all allow you to embed Object references and
small "Scriptlettes" directly in the HTML that the web server processes.
As you can probably see, the difference between the two is when and where
things get done, in Type 1, the web server hands over complete
responsibility for the web page, whereas in Type 2, the web server is still
in control of the output, but asks for help when it is required.
