This is correct.  The x11 typelibs just define typedefs and constants 
used higher up the stack; they do not use library symbols so they do not 
depend on their respective C libraries.

gobject-introspection (the compilers) includes an aclocal macro which 
depends on the gobject-introspection-1.0.pc pkg-config file.  The latter 
is also used for linking against libgirepository, so it is part of 
-devel, hence the dependency.
