You're correct. For example, if you're in someone else kitchen, trying to eat a meal and you didn't ask the house owner where the forks at so you go searching by yourself:

UX would be "what drawer will the utensils be within the kitchen? Usually close to the microwave/stove/fridge."

UI would be "Does this drawer need handles or can you open it from the bottom?"

It sounds like you're describing more of a macro vs micro distinction, rather than a functional vs aesthetic/visual distinction. But either way, you can't cleanly separate the two responsibilities.
