No that’s not quite right, but I doubt I can explain why clearly

The alternative explanation is that the blockchain app is built on Ethereum, which removes the mining requirement, but I'm unclear on its exact details.

what do you mean by removes the mining requirement? my understanding was that ethereum still needed miners, but the miners were responsible for running the programs as well?

I assumed there was a "mainline" Ethereum blockchain that'd allow you to run contracts on, so you could implement an app directly on it if structured correctly. But I don't know exactly what it takes to do this.

dApps run on nodes is my understanding, but only a small subset of the code needs to live there

I can imagine ways to make that work (similar to how web apps can be written to do lots of client-side processing) but it seems like it would be hard to make secure. but anyway I'll stop speculating in a vacuum and read a bit. I've looked into the EVM before but don't get it yet

Yes there are weird hybrid architectures that do most computations offline then commit in batches etc.
