Reanimate and Kismet (vs. Loxodon Gatekeeper)

I came over a strange difference in the Oracle wording of said cards and I want to make sure I understand it correctly:
Loxodon Gatekeeper reads "Artifacts, creatures, and lands your opponents control enter the battlefield tapped.“ while Kismet reads ”Artifacts, creatures, and lands played by your opponents enter the battlefield tapped.“

It seems to me, that these two abilities interact differently with Reanimate effects. Loxodon Gatekeeper's ability would make reanimated creatures enter the battlefield tapped, whereas Kismet's wouldn't, because they weren't *played* (here meaning cast) by my opponent. The same would be true for Show and Tell or ”fetch lands".

Am I right?
