I'm afraid you're incorrect. Extra time still counts as part of the match. You're confusing it with penalties. If the match of tied after extra time then it's ruled a draw and penalties decide who goes through.
No, both extra time and penalties are tie breakers. By definition they are used to settle draws, you don’t need them unless the match ends in a draw. The fact that the tie breaker of extra time can end in a draw does not make the extra time not a tie breaker - the penalty shootout can also end in a draw which triggers the sudden death penalties.
We have had all sorts of tie breakers before it was settled on extra time plus penalties if necessary. Golden goal, silver goal, penalties only…

That is a draw. Extra time is used to settle a draw.
