Simple answer, no. A 2405 is not the same as another 2405, which is the reason most players here dislike the OVR rating. It gives you a rough idea of where you are, but doesn't fit well for analysis.
A better way to evaluate true value would be to have an equation that not only weighs all the individual ratings of pitchers and batters but can compare lineups to pitching staffs. All of that is possible, but OOTP doesn't give you an easy way to export your team's specifics so you could dump all that stuff into a spreadsheet and play with it.
I'm sure they would say OVR is their result of that kind of analysis, but we're looking at that number blind, not knowing the details behind it.
