Yes, seems not far off. There's something close to 500 scheduled Victoria line services per day in each direction (less on Sundays, and not all services will operate if there's disruption/delays). Annual Victoria line ridership in 2019 was 302 million, or 827k per day on average. So, roughly, 827 passengers per train service on average (but not all at once!).
Each service takes around 35 minutes to do the full line from Brixton to Walthamstow, plus turnaround time at each end. Some services turn back early at Finsbury Park or Seven Sisters. So each train will be doing a bit more than 1 service per hour.
