Not really, there’s a number of different concrete binders available including cement, bitumen (used for asphalt), lime (very old binder), even epoxy.
Concrete is a material that uses any binder with rock aggregate. But in everyday usage people mean to refer to cement concrete.
Asphalt is a specific type of concrete that uses a bituminous binder. So asphalt vs non-asphalt isn’t very helpful because non-asphalt either means nothing at all, or any other concrete that uses a non-bituminous binder, and there are plenty of other options.
Clearly GP was intending comparison to be to cement concrete, rather than say, toothpaste concrete, PVA glue concrete, or a number of other technically valid concretes, but obviously not practical.
