If you wanted to take a very broad definition of what constitutes "dark matter", then you would loosely be correct. But if you took dark matter to be what most physicists and astronomers commonly think of it as being (particles of matter that can't be detected by normals means and only interact with the rest of the universe by their gravitational influence) then you would be incorrect.
