This is true. What you're describing...a list of states, in a sense...would be a teeny subset of all possible consistent universes, though. It doesn't describe our own universe, for one example: there is no "grand clock" that ticks down such that the universe can be partitioned into states. :) I'd need to cover relativity to explain why, but the universe isn't "sliceable" in the way you're suggesting it is.
