Would it be fair to say that if a path is a directory, and if the kMDItemContentType != public.folder then NSWorkspace.isFilePackageAtPath would return YES?

No. A non-package directory may not even conform to public.folder. For example, volume mount points have the type ID public.volume, which does conform; but frameworks have the type ID public.framework, which does not conform.


And conversely if a path is not a directory or the kMDItemContentType == public.folder, then NSWorkspace.isFilePackageAtPath would return NO?

I'm pretty sure this is true. All packages are directories, and no package type conforms to public.folder, or ever will.
