Yes, in these photos, your flash is only lighting up the area around you... it's not going to reach and illuminate subjects that far away. The examples above are simply the result of different exposures.
The second photo was intentionally underexposed by the camera because the lens thought the flash would add more light. It compensated for this, but since the flash couldn't reach the distant subject matter, the result was not enough light allowed into the lens to properly expose the cityscape.
The first photo was properly exposed because it didn't detect a flash adding more light.
