Maybe on a general level that's not the common interpretation, but in software that's a different story.
You don't expect to join a remote-friendly company for software development and then have to work in a strict time regiment with meetings as one of the default means of communication, for example. Async is implied - at varying degrees - when you apply for a remote-friendly company.

You'll have a hard time finding a job opening where they say "we actually work as a typical office, just remotely". You can probably get that answered when interviewing, but that's not a guarantee by any means.
I've joined multiple companies that were "remote-friendly" and boasted all the flexibility of async work, only to find out it's not quite real.
Could I be unlucky and everyone else has a different experience? Sure. Is it likely though?
