Yes, you are correct about it. bin:grub-ipxe ships iPXE bootloader for the current architecture. E.g. if you install grub-ipxe:amd64, it will install ipxe.efi for x86-64 UEFI into /boot. If you install grub-ipxe:arm64, it will install ipxe.efi for aarch64 UEFI into /boot. As a result, grub-ipxe becomes arch-dependent because it contains different content on different architectures.
