Yes, that chip was the TMS9918A and it was also used in systems like the MSX computers and the Colecovision game console. The Colecovision was similar in that it offered 1KB of "scratchpad" RAM the CPU could directly address, and 16K of video RAM shared with the VDP. The chip used auto-incrementing address registers that would allow a CPU to read from and write to VRAM.
