No, they are not. The red and blue sensels also deliver luminance information.

I acknowledged that earlier, hence the use of the term "nominally" here. You can only recover that information in conjunction with values from neighbouring photosites. The data across those photosites needs to be sufficiently consistent for this to work well. An AA filter appropriate to foveon would not be for bayer pattern of same sensor pitch.
