I think this is right in a certain sense, but not precisely. From what I understand no visible light photons are created in the core from nuclear fusion, it's mostly a bunch of gamma rays that get almost immediately absorbed. The energy, but not the photons from fusion, gets transfered up through the layers of the sun, through radiation and convection, eventually heating the photosphere. It is then the photosphere, white hot, which ultimately radiates the visible light we see as sunlight.

Thanks for your answer, I understand you're correct. Also, as another counterargument, if a photon is scattered... is it the same photon or a different one? Your perspective on energy instead of particles is better.
