Sorry to say Shawn but that isn't entirely the case. Just like the video card drivers, the drivers are written only by AMD and are closed source. About the only thing Asus or any other motherboard (or video card) manufacturer can do with the drivers from AMD is to add to or alter slightly the INF files to make it look like it comes from them. Asus likely got an updated component or two from AMD and updated the driver package they offer, with an updated package number.
I actually looked into that "updated" Asus driver set (and installed the newer components on my MSI motherboard) and if I remember correctly there was only one or two of the five or six different components it ( PSP and I believe PCI drivers). In fact when you run the installer it looks just like the standard installer GUI that AMD has been using for a while now.
