That's mostly how I was with Forgotten Realms. Playing games like Baldur's Gate and Dark Alliance got me interested in the setting looooong before I ever gave a shit about the actual RPG.
Even now I barely care about D&D as a whole but I'm still moderately interested in the metaplot and lore. ...even if the metaplot has mostly sucked since 4e.

Don't worry, most people ignore it when they play pathfinder.
The lore/flavor of the world is a large part of what has always turned me off from Pathfinder (aside from the fact that I don't like 3e D&D). It's the main reason why I've never really bothered looking into it all that deeply, and why the Pathfinder WRPGs don't really interest me all that much.
And without the lore, there's literally nothing there that draws my interest when it feels like there are loads of much better mechanical systems out there already. If I want to run my own game in a unique homebrew universe, I'm probably never going to pick Pathfinder (or D&D) to run it with if I'm the one making the choice.
