Only of the attacker knows whether it's a password or phrase. I'd argue that passwords are far more common and that's what a cracker would focus on first.
As far as I know there still is no way to create actual randomness. You'll still have some pseudo-random number generator and a hopefully unguessable seed. If you have "perfect knowledge" about that, cracking the password is almost trivial.
Morden computers have hardware that generates entropy. It is used for cryptography.
Also, when creating password for yourself, you can use a simple physical dice, it's truly random.
