I'd be very cautious in assuming this. I suspect that Germany and France in particular are going to try to figure out how to make sure the UK gets a deal that will make other countries think twice from leaving again. That's assuming that this actually happens, of course. David Cameron showed that, at the end of the day, he wasn't actually willing to invoke Article 50, and even Boris Johnson seems to be waffling now.
And even if the UK does get the same deal as Norway, that means they'll have to abide by EU policies and regulations, but they won't get a vote in the matter - that's not going to be very palatable to the UK.
