No not quite. Countries have far more power than corps both militarily and otherwise. Corps are often extensions of government power but operate on their own as well.
The fourth corporate war shows this a lot where Corps believed they were as powerful as nation states in their own right and things got out of control before national governments stepped in and brought the corporations back in line.
In 2077 corporations and government have intertwined much more deeply at least in the NUSA where Myers used to be the Militech CEO showing there's a much closer relation between Militech and NUSA on their objectives. Alex mentions that FIA agents have access to Militechs newest and best tech and further to this Songbird is built on secret Militech technology regarding the blackwall and Cynosure. This seems to be a much closer alliance than Japan and Arasaka who had a falling out during the 2040's and the fourth corporate war.
