In this particular scenario it would appear so, but there really isn't an explicit definition for "nothing" other than that it is an existential state, condition, or parameter that precedes the spatial dimensions from within an eternal loop or algorithm.
There are a few reasons why this "nothing" terminology would be incorporated into a cosmological theory of everything:
1. Given a single iteration of this 'expanding model' universe (in theory) the expansion would be reversed to arrive at a prior state from where the "expansion" initiated in the first place – called "nothing" to indicate that it does not occupy any type of spatial existence.
2. In an attempt to resolve the problem of infinite regression presuming that it actually requires any "resolving", but even if a spacetime continuum is regressed to a prior state of nothingness and halts there from within an eternal construct, the eternal construct itself dictates that there is STILL an eternal sequence of events, but only of a different manner, so has anything ultimately been resolved? Yes and no.
3. The problem of infinite space. This is no longer a mystery as its polar opposite now becomes the default state. Space is not a given but is created and expands into this "nothing". There is no space beyond or outside of our universal space – there literally is absolutely "nothing".
4. Occams' razor and the law of parsimony. Exclusion of infinite space and emergence from "nothing" is one of the simplest explanations, but at the same time also one of the most bizarre as well.
