Has the "Integration" Between Active Directory and Exchange 2013 Changed?

I am familiar with using Server 2003 and Exchange 2003.  With those two pieces of software, once Exchange was installed I was then able to go into Active Directory Users & Computers and perform some general Exchange tasks such assigning E-mail addresses to a distribution list and so forth.

I am now working on Server 2012 and Exchange 2013 in a test environment.  Within Active Directory Users & Computers, when I select a distribution list properties I am no longer presented with any Exchange features.  If I create a Distribution List within AD Users & Computers, it does not show up within Exchange 2013 ECP under Recipients / Groups.  However, if I create the group within Exchange ECP it then appears in AD Users & Computers.  

It seems that I must now perform all tasks within Exchange ECP that are related to Exchange.  Is this a valid statement?  I just want to make sure that a I do in fact have this configured correctly.  Since I was able to perform some Exchange tasks within AD Users and Computers when I was running Server 2003 / Exchange 2003, I figured that I would be able to do the same in Server 2012 / Exchange 2013.

I have already created all of my security groups within AD.  Is it possible to mail enable these security groups that have been created in AD?
