I may be incorrect, but delamination is the separation of the fiberglass from the backing board, which generally occurs on side walls, and which is totally different from a separation of the cab from house section. A tell tale sign of delamination is the bubbling effect.
Yes, delamination can be caused by other things than water leaks. I remember reading here about one guy who was part of, I think, a recall, that had a delamination problem caused by the dark decals getting hot in the sun, and the head caused delamination of the fiberglass glue underneath.
