No.

Even at the same density, with a higher temp you'll hit ITT limits, for example, sooner. So the engine will produce less thrust, so the performance will be worse on a hot day, even if everything else were the same.

There is no single factor you can reduce it to; it really is both "hot" AND "high" that counts
