Yes, Hop ! is just a fomer regional subsidiary, kind of like the regional carriers in the US (Air Wisconsin, Piedmont, etc.....) so for all intents and purposes it is an AF flights, except on regional jets.
I have to go downtown to FRA airport (meeting someone there). The plane costs barely more, so it's only about time.
The distance and time from aeroport FRA to the centre is negligible, about 10-15mn train ride. All the more reason to take the train, because Roissy/CDG is nearly 1h from centre Paris.
By taking the TGV, you would arrive at the main train station/gare central Frankfurt and simply walk down 2 flights of stairs to reach the suburban trains taking you to the aeroport.
