Yes, that is true for the performance of the PA.
Certainly not true for the performance of the
transmission line or antenna.

Please explain?

If the transmission line and antenna are replaced by a lumped constant
load, the transmission line and antenna cease to function. IMO, that's
not "performing exactly as".
