Ah, gotta nitpick here..

RGB is any video signal where the red green and blue components (and sync) go separately.

VGA is a form of RGB, but what makes it VGA is the standardised screen resolutions (like you said) and also the standard refresh rates, which are higher than those coming from something you'd connect to a TV.

But anyway, it's still RGB.. :-)
