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?
