for the universe as a whole, yes. For stars and planets, no. So time would necessary flow differently in the vicinity of a star than in the rest of the universe. And that would mean that time on Earth would flow differently than, say, in the outer reaches of the solar system. I know of no studies which show this.
Please note I am not saying you are wrong - thinking about things is very good - but we need some sort of theory from which we can make predictions in order to verify or falsify it.
