Looks like you’ve never been to the Arch Linux website. The AUR link sits right next to the official Packages link. Only upon clicking the link you get a moderately visible disclaimer that “AUR packages are user produced content.”, which is also true for all other packages, so it’s not exactly clear what it means.
I mean, seriously, if that’s not being ‘part of the archlinux repositories’, then I guess Arch has no repositories.
The arch wiki page for the AUR has a big, vibrant red box in the intro section stating:
Warning
AUR packages are user-produced content. These PKGBUILDs are completely unofficial and have not been thoroughly vetted. Any use of the provided files is at your own risk.
If you have ever installed something through the AUR in the intended way, you would know that it does not involve running the package manager tool until the very last step. You need to git checkout the package recipe, build it. This is clearly what the post you are answering to meant by “not part of the arch linux repositories”.
