Yes, I believe this is so. David Gaider has specifically said that the Chantry is not modeled on any specific historical institution, but that of course it's possible to see a resemblance to any particular organization simply due to the way large institutions tend to work, whether they be multinational cooperations, governments, or religions. By taking a neutral stance to the Chantry in writing the story, it allows the player to read into it many different interpretations.

Yes, the Grand Cleric has a voice in the Landsmeet, but it's only one voice. It isn't as if, say, the Revered Mothers of larger Chantries (Denerim, Highever, Amaranthine) are also represented.
