Nope and Nope.
HEX is a very fun game but the setting is only one of many possibilities for pulp gaming.
In a similar fashion, D&D does not represent "fantasy". D&D represents some popular aspects of fantasy along with certain trappings that are either unique to D&D or became fantasy staples largely because of D&D.
From a popularity standpoint you might have something.

HEX is a great game for a variety of pulp-style adventures.
I've run it in the default setting, I've run adventures against the Nazis on the surface, and I used it to run an alt-1930s airship game that was a cross-pollination of Film Noir and Firefly using real-world zeppelins.
I think that like D&D, it's known for one thing, but it's a very flexible system that can be put to a LOT of uses.
This may get me strung up around here (heh), but I prefer it to Savage Worlds for my homebrewing needs.
