I think its more of a continuum than a single distinction. Some setups look much more like a skerry, with several connected worlds that are all "prime material", while others look more like a cosmology. But its all a matter of interpretation and what the rules for travel are. Infinity would probably insist on calling such a structure a skerry no matter what.
