At a very high level, yes. But the details matter here - you commit a transaction to the SQLite database and know that the commit has been pushed out to 3/5 replicas by the time the write API request returns - and that it will be logged to object storage (supporting 30 days of rollback) within ten seconds. AND it will live in a data center physically close to the user who caused it to be created.
