I doubt it somehow. Its actually quite complicated in full detail.

Only by deliberate construction. That is, they use approximations.

This is not really what happens.
There is no reason why there can not be, and indeed there is, an
equivalent circuit that is correct across the whole range of
frequencies. Rest assured, that with decent models for the devices,
spice is very accurate.
