No. Like I said, bloatware goes in /system, user-installed apps go in /data. That's why root is needed to remove the crapware.
Open a terminal and:
$ df
...hit enter and look at the line starting with /data to see space for apps, email, text messages, etc.

See above. You are correct about Google apps. But to be clear, you have no choice about whether apps you install are user or system. Anything you install will go in /data.
