Yes - an implementation of UCSD Pascal was integrated in the Apple Pascal

IMHO "bundled" is a better term than "integrated". Now the Turbo Pascal
was integrated. Just like modern development environments with combined
editor and compiler.

UCSD Pascal just came with its own OS and incompatible filesystem.

True --- Turbo Pascal didn't integrate its own OS, which was a clear
advantage.  To summarize: Turbo Pascal was better than Apple Pascal in
almost every respect.  Anyone who can think of even one advantage
Apple Pascal had over Turbo Pascal?

You didn't need a Z80 daughtercard to use it.
