Not exactly accurate, I think. Even machine language is bound by the CPU's architecture. You can't do anything in machine language that wasn't specifically provided for by the CPU architects.
It would be more accurate to say it's like creating a new universe using all the same laws of physics, thermodynamics, cosmology, ethics, etc as our existing universe.
I don't think accuracy was the goal, it is a joke not a dissertation. It's more about how it feels to try a language like assembly after working with higher-level languages.
