I don't live there, but I've often heard that the common rationale for not wearing a helmet is that bike-bike or bike-human accidents usually don't result in head injuries. Usually, it is a bike-car accident that can result in head injuries, and if you get hit by a car at speed then you have other issues.
You are correct either way, but the problem wouldn't be as bad if bike lanes are completely separated from cars. I do not have a source, but I'd assume that places like 's-Hertogenbosch, Houten and Utrecht have less head injuries due to the better (completely separated from cars) bike infrastructure compared to Amsterdam or Rotterdam.
