This is not true. There are Red Hat package versions that do not correspond to any commits in that repository. For example, if a package gets updated from 1.1.0 to 1.2.0 in CentOS Stream, then later a patch is released (lets say, 1.1.1, or 1.1.0-2) then that patch will never show up in this repository. In such a situation, the 1.2 version will probably get an equivalent patch eventually, but not the 1.1 version.
Others have pointed out that embargoed security patches are not pushed to CentOS Stream until the embargo ends, and often at the end of the embargo they still don't push it until several weeks later, due to RH developers forgetting to do so.
