IoT is only a part of embedded, and no it's not anything with a micro-controller and an internet connection.
Aerospace, automotive, automation and self driving, oil and gas, power... all of those employ thousands of embedded engineers. Saying the nav systems for a plane, a satellite, an electric car of a self driving system are "IoT" only because they have a network connection and you can pull and push stuff to them from the Internet is a a stretch.
There's also a lot of consumer electronics that are not IoT, like peripheral software for laptops and consoles, appliances, audio, musical instruments, toys, displays and signage, etc...
