Is it true that there is no absolute morality?

You're begging the question. Unless you want to argue that ALL truth is intrinsically subjective, then I don't think you'll have much luck finding any dictionary that matches your definition about truth from different points of view.

You're also ignoring the question of agency-- do you think that a subjective agent has anything special that distinguishes it from the rest of the universe? If not, then what, really, is the agency which is required in order for something to be called an opinion?

If you can't define what subjective agency IS and how you identify it, then using terms which depend on the concept is pretty dodgy. I don't think you CAN define subjective agency, or explain how, without begging the question even further, you would identify it.
