I believe that is a totally fair view of it. It is clear that even in their philosohpical production there were competing metaphyscial accounts. Emblematic of the work I am thinking of is work in comparative philosophy and religion. David Carrasco's Religions of Mesoamerica
Cosmovision and Ceremonial Centers come to mind but pic is related.

Generally, other societies don't have a view of substance metaphysics connected to a correspodence theory of language however to sustain literalism. Most societies have other models of language and philosophy. The comparsion with Kami for example you point to or the account like Maffie's which make it is closer to something like Buddhist Mikkyo is another and this seems to be connected to different ways of thinking of reality as processual. The Aztec view may not be metaphysically antifoundationalist like the Kami of Shinbutsu shugo. Even in other cultures with substance metaphyscis like India, the idea of language as being totally carving reality is not necessarily found to enable literalism. Rather Vedic ritual is held to reflect some metaphyscial reality and langauge is a way to grasp that ritual. One major difference that can be found is the idea of viewing oneself as being passive to belief formation, beliefs are found out there in the world.

Here is an example of Shinbutsu-shugo as found in Tendai Buddhism to compare to the Aztec view.
Certain Imperial Shinto accounts might even be closer to the Aztec view in their movement towards metaphyscial realism and monism.
