Not quite. Vinyl if I'm right physically represents the audio wave forms - and there might be limits to how accurately it can do so due to the limitations of the material.
CDs sample the audio waveform at 44.1Khz (44,100 samples per second) and quantized the input to 16 bits (2^16 different levels) then using the magic of math it reproduces almost the exact same waveform it sampled during playback - with any errors (from quantization if I'm right) pushed to frequencies we can't heard.
