Yes it is. But because this is only an arrival card and not an authorisation that needs approval it is easy for there to be a on arrival backup. My only direct experience of this in Japan where there are paper forms for those who didn't complete the online arrival information in advance, works fine and only delays those who couldn't or didn't bother in advance.
But when this perhaps morphs into an ETA, which does need approval, that will be a different matter altogether.
