I do not know the internal details, but Realtek packages a PCIe wifi device and a bluetooth USB device in the same package. Intel does the same thing on my Wireless 7260.

My lsusb shows:

Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Bus 002 Device 004: ID 8087:07dc Intel Corp. Bluetooth wireless interface

I have no devices plugged into a USB port.
