OpenEmbedded and Yocto are separate entities in time. The OpenEmbedded project started in 2003, Yocto in 2010/2011.
When you "use yocto", you're likely just using parts of the OpenEmbedded project. Yocto takes all the flexibility of the OpenEmbedded project and packages together a functional setup (called Poky) that can be more easily customized to build custom images. (There are non-poky, non-openembedded components of yocto, but I'm not familiar with them).
The default packages shipped with Poky are I suspect just the minimal set required to get a network connected device with a GUI interface up. Remember that it's default setup is effectively suppose to be a "hello world" project.
