That is. The event which precipitated our universe has experience infinite number of prior occurrences, without any discernibly different initiation event.

No, it isn't. An infinite regress is a series in which each proposition is dependent on the one before it. You're describing propositions in parallel which are independent of each other, but each dependent on another common proposition. They're not the same thing.
