Not quite, the Imperium of War want eternal war. They are more like the Hive from Destiny in philosophy, not caring if they win or lose. The universe belongs to the strongest, whoever that is. Trough eternal war, the Imperium are drawing out the strength in those they fight, and moving the universe towards that final point, where everything is arranged in an hierarchy of strength. If the Imperium themselves turn out to be the strongest, all is too well; if they are not, and are extinguished by their enemies, that too is justified because they simply weren't strong enough.

The Imperium of Man, on the other hand, want themselves and only themselves to win in the end. Thtat's all they want. The Imperium of War is nothing like that.
