True power factor is due to both displacement power factor and distortion power factor.
Distortion power factor is caused by the presence of harmonics, displacement power factor is due to the presence of reactive circuits.

Yes, if the distortion powerfactor was 1 (no distortion = no harmonics) then the true power factor would equal the displacement power factor.
