Essentially they serve to separate the services. It can be easier to manage the webpages on the server in this way.

There can also be a slight SEO advantage with regards to naming convention.

But is Separate domain considered as separate site?

I haven't had to deal with that situation before but I would think that it depends mostly on how you have the sub-domain linking to the root domain. If no links are exchanged then it is safe to think the search engine will treat them separately.
