That is ambigious. Except it really isn't the same context... The AUR is a repository for package recipes, the build files only. If you look at the definition you gave from pacman orphans - packages that were installed as dependencies but are no longer required by any installed package. That makes absolutely no sense for a build recipe, it simply can't refer to the same thing. You don't install pkgbuild instructions and a repo of those doesn't have things installed. So no, package building and package installation aren't the same context, even if related.
