Not quite. Aura is produced by the Soul. Aura can then manifest in different ways- channeled through dust, used as a shield, activating and powering Semblances, etc.

Said Aura can be drained and damaged by anything- without injuring the Soul of the user and without requiring Soul-targeting attacks. The Soul isn't damaged by emptying someone's Aura- it's just your "shield's" power source is depleted.

Not just any attack on a RWBY character damages their soul. It damages and depletes Aura- which comes from the Soul. There's a difference.
