Infection: Gingivitis is an infection and can be severe enough to affect the lymph nodes in the neck which are the line of defense with oral infections.

Sure: Gingivitis is caused by bacteria, it's an infection. And the lymph nodes in the neck are scavengers for anything coming from your mouth. Too much bacteria, and they too get inflammed.
