Correct - it's catch-all for the things we do as humans to survive, connect and flourish in groups. It's not at all weird to enjoy the things like that you grew up with, the shared stories, the art, the music, the food, the rituals... That can plausibly be separated from government. But then you get to the next issue: Do the referents of "the culture" map all and only to the same geographical area as referents to "the government" (or at least its purview)?
