When Installing armory it said it uses bitcoin-core's bitcoind, however I am not sure if that means this is not a ISV wallet and I would need to download the whole 50GB of blockchain?

You will, Armory uses Bitcoin Core's bitcoind, which itself needs to download the whole blockchain. Armory cannot function without Bitcoin Core since it does not do any network stuff, instead it does that through Bitcoin Core.
