No, this is wrong.

You cannot account the hypervisor page tables to the guest because we
don't ever unmap them, and that we can't distinguish two data
structures from two different VMs occupying the same page.

If you never unmap them, there should at least be a shrinker to get rid of unused pages in the event of memory pressure.
