I actually think it's a pretty fair conclusion. In the Psijic College, there is a doorway that leads to an "Artaeum Beach" but says that you can not use this door right now. And no quest ever leads us through that door. I think it's a logical conclusion that that door leads to the tele-pool to the island depicted in the screenshots.
That, or I'll concede it could be a future DLC area.
But given ZOS's recent agenda with monetization. I think it's probably 95% likely this will be a mansion type home along with the Grotto.
With July's Crown Showcase coming out in 10 days or so, it would be nice if this house (or one like it) would be made available.
The grotto is sort of nice, though the shipwrecks ruin the ambiance. A proper Altmer manor like the potential house in this thread would make an amazing addition to the game, and would give those of us looking for a real house on Summerset (or Artaeum) a chance to have just that.
@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom any chance of some sort of comment on this space as a possible house in the future?
They also, as has been previously stated, would never make the entrance to a dungeon or dlc in the bounds of a chapter.

While I suspect you're right about this particular structure not being a dungeon, ZOS has already put entrances to dungeons within the bounds of a chapter: both Halls of Fabrication and Cloudrest. (Trials are dungeons, and even if ZOS meant 4-man Undaunted dungeons, there's no real difference when it comes to content being locked away behind chapters and dlc, which has been the case for years now.) Unless one does not count Morrowind or Summerset as chapters, of course, in which case ESO has no chapters and ZOS' statement is therefore meaningless. To push the point even further, technically the entrance to the territory of Morrowind (now a DLC) was locked behind the chapter called Morrowind for a year. The point being I'm not quite sure we should be putting much stock in what ZOS has to say about this sort of thing, given their now well-established pattern of retracting and redefining things to suit the evolution of their business model.

There are two new homes to test during this PTS cycle.
- Hunter’s Glade: An underground entrance way leads through a portal to an expansive forested glade in Hircine's Oblivion realm of The Hunting Grounds. Those "blessed" with lycanthropy can maintain werewolf form indefinitely in this otherworldly wilderness.
- Grand Psijic Villa: When Artaeum was "removed" from Tamriel, a few neighboring isles went with it, including the site of the Grand Psijic Villa, a monumental estate with magnificent views of the south coast of the main island.
