Yes, but the reason to bring in vector clocks in computer science is because information does not propagate instantaneously. This is also the key insight of Special Relativity. The key insight of General Relativity is that in addition to, tidal effects of gravity cannot be transformed away even in arbitrarily accelerating reference frames. This is not particularly related to vector clocks.
