No, you aren't incorrect. It's a similar thing, but the raw files are .RAF rather than .CR2. There are some people who recommend performing a conversion from .RAF (the out-of-camera raw) to .DNG (Adobe Raw file format), using a converter, and then performing the adjustments on the .DNG file before finally exporting as a JPEG. They have reasons for this, and it comes down to the way digital cameras typically work, and in particular how Fuji represent green pixels in their raw files.
I'm not a pro photographer, but personally I've not had a problem with smearing and "water-colour" representation of foliage. I typically work with the RAF files in LIghtroom, because I'm not a good enough photographer to be happy with the straight out of camera JPEGs that some people are able to use. I'm guilty of using the camera to collect data, and using Lightroom to make the shot, rather than the camera alone. I'd like to be able to do the opposite, but I like story-telling photography and I sometimes see a different way of conveying the story in review, leading to excessive cropping and sometimes radical lighting adjustments. The power and precision of the X-Pro2 acts as a crutch to my lack of ability in this regard, but I remain happy with the results.
There's plenty of detail available in foliage or other random/repeating patterns. As the two examples below, hopefully indicate:-
