Maybe, maybe not. DSA is multi switch. That is what the D means,
Distributed. All switches in a cluster are presented to the software
stack as a single switch.
If your multi-ASIC architecture is the same, a distributed switch,
then you don't cover the general case. If you represent it as two
switches, with frames going between switches going via CPU, then yes,
you probably cover the general case.
