True in the conflicts,  Not true about the -free packages in relation to the -freeworld packages.
The packages from rpmfusion contain many codecs to allow access to different media where the codec is restricted from fedora distribution.  The -free packages thus have limited codecs and one often finds that they are unable to access particular media as a result.  Replacing the -free packages with the corresponding -freeworld packages gives one access to the full codec range that is otherwise not available.
Each user must choose what works for them.
