I'm pretty sure by package manager, he means to install Terraform modules. Docker still fits for your problem, so does Packer. Honestly, it's super nice to not have to worry about any external resources failing, where you only have 1 thing pulled in to deploy any type of application, and that would be the image.

The same is also true of packages, if you're packaging correctly and work in a sane environment. It's also a lot easier for devops to manage, because they then only have to apply access control, logging, resource management, and other integration requirements to the main OS image, instead of to every Docker image produced for deployment.
