There are also some magical effects that aren't spells, such as a basilisk's gaze; they would also have advantage on saves against the gaze, and an anti-magic field would block it. A dragon's breath is not considered magical, so you wouldn't get advantage to your save, and anti-magic does nothing.
This is kind of what you're saying, but the distinction can be important. Dragon breath isn't magical, so effects that stop or protect against magic don't do anything. It could be accurate to say that dragon's breath is a supernatural ability, however, which isn't that different from saying it's "magic". But there are also things like the basilisk's gaze, which is magical, and thus can be stopped by anti-magic.
