Not quite. Normal data over a network is fully asynchronous and includes many layers (not included on a whim) for resend on error that are missing from HDMI.It's the same theory that underpins the transmission of digital data across the world via multiple servers and thousands of miles of cable.
The bald fact that HDMI is good enough to be perfect under normal conditions might be true but the justification for believing it is not this simple.
