Right, that’s another way of stating the same assumption. But we usually apply Occam’s razor to statements in languages that admit sets of non-mutually-exclusive hypotheses of infinite size. So you’d need to somehow collapse or deduplicate those in a way that makes them finite.
I find I mostly apply Occam’s razor to mutually exclusive hypotheses, e.g. explanation A of phenomenon X is better than explanation B because it is simpler.
