So, to clarify, you're essentially saying that I don' t need apt IF I have the repositories added to my system? (Thanks for the link!)

You just need to find the package that is "equivalent" to your distro. Take a look at my answer @ajsmart

Correct! Apt is a tool for pulling packages, commonly used by Debian based distros. Rpm, Yum, and Dnf are a family of tools used by Enterprise Linux. The repos they use are also different, but not because of the tools but because of the OS family the repos is serving software for. Good luck and let us know if you need more.
