I think that’s the gist of it. I categorize them as Secret and Private. Where Secret information is something I deny knowing, (and therefore fails to pass the onion test), and Private information is something that people can know exist, even if I won’t tell them what it is (thereby passing the onion test).
This seems interesting to me but I can’t yet latch onto it. Can you give examples of secrets being one or the other?
Are you distinguishing between “secrets where the existence of the secret is a big part of the secret” and “secrets where it’s not”?

Also, see this which I found relevant.
