You can look at it that way, but not so much true. The great thing about being a self employed is that it doesn't matter where you work.
I take my computer with me everywhere I go, even on vacation. I've had conference calls in the morning and hit Disney World in the afternoon. Usually my customers don't even realize I'm out and about.
So while you could say that your not really on vacation just remote, you could look at it the other way and realize you could spend a month in Florida on vacation and still make a few bucks in the process. I've been on vacations that have paid for themselves simply by putting a little work in for half a day here and there.
This is basically exactly what I was going to say. I'm currently spending a week far from home base wind and kite surfing. Once in the morning and once in the afternoon, I answer customer questions/suggestions, and after dinner I spend 4 or 5 hours fixing bugs and working on implementing something.
