Yes, they are all integrated. They are designed to help GT learners build on the knowledge & skills acquired from completion of GF2. Everyone has different goals, tastes & levels of accomplishment. So we picked the 3 most widely used genres & built a curriculum that dovetails as much as possible from the end of GF2 to those style courses.

But, no, you don't have to do all three! You can if you want! You'll find a great deal of overlap in some areas. But it's not necessary to do each style course level 1 after GF2. So you might do:

GF1 > GF2 > Country 1 > Country 2

The material in GF 1 & 2 is basic, beginner material that all guitar learners need to know. That knowledge & skill set is applicable to all genres. Then as you learn more certain ideas & techniques are more specialized or dealt with in a more advanced manner particular to each style.

I encourage GT learners to finish GF 1&2. Then pick a style; say Country 1. And at the same time, start learning simple country songs. Then work through Country 2 & learn more songs. Then look through the main GT catalog for more intermediate & advanced tutorials while learning even more songs!

Make sense?
