No, my understanding is that the ground code is not directed at lightning strikes but at preventing your data cable from becoming the functional internal ground loop instantly carrying a LOT of current if one of the two normal ground paths of the separate power/ground sources become disabled by mishap ...

The code is meant to create a failsafe non dangerous design for when things go wrong... My understanding is minimal... an electrician or electrical engineer would know the answer to this...

Technically you may be running afoul of electrical grounding building code when you do this if you are using a cable to connect electrically powered devices that are being powered from different breaker boxes/ grounds.

So you may need to add isolators. What do those cost?
