Does GPU memory count towards the Motherboard Memory Limit?

If my motherboard has say 16gb limit on the ram it can support, is that essentially just saying that the slots can take up to 8gb (for 2 slots) or 4gb (4 slots) or does that include the gpu memory as well? If I was running 16gb ram and had a 4gb gpu, would I lose 4gb of ram or is it completely separate?

Cool thanks. I thought they would be separate but thought I'd check and couldn't find anything about it anywhere :)
