"The Intel AMT functionality is contained in the ME firmware (Manageability Engine Firmware)." So, yes, it's the ME that was exploited. AMT is just an app for the ME.

Well, if there is a vulnerability for Nginx on Linux, you wouldn't say Linux had a vulnerability right? I think this situation might be similar.

No, that's not the same. Imagine ME being exploited, that would open up the system regardless of whether or not you even had AMT, installed or enabled. That would be a far more serious issue, the number of systems affected would be a very large multiple of the number of systems affected by this bug.
