No, I think there is one unified market. It's startup owners who think there are two markets and try to get away with paying so much less than what's competitive. This is, by the way, why they're having such trouble filling these positions. You can't just see what salaries are offered and say "that's the market salary." Companies actually offering the market salary don't have the level of hiring difficulties that startups paying $75k in SF do.
