Umm, close but not quite. While dielectric grease itself is non-conducting, using it on electrical contacts can improve their reliability by blocking corrosion and oxidation. The metal contacts still complete the circuit, the grease surrounds the contact points to reduce oxidation. It can also prevent arcing between contaminated insulators like plug boots and ceramics.
