This is entirely incorrect. The cards you have in play are cards for the purposes of game effects.
The Reality Gem protects you from both effects of the Trap because the card's text is worded such that the traps one is immune to is contingent on there being an effect that includes either losing cards (which as previously stated, includes the cards you have in play) or death.
The card is NOT worded in such a way that is only protects you from the effects of losing cards of death, but from the whole trap itself.
