I don't think that's correct, other than maybe technically (yes, the best kind). Excrement, itself, is dirty; when inside of you, it's mostly contained, but while traveling outside of you it leaves deposits on your skin. Your insides might be (debatably) cleaner afterward, but your outsides - where it usually matters most in terms of cleanliness - won't be. Otherwise, we wouldn't wipe or have bidets.

Besides that, there are secondary impacts. For example, assuming you're in a place with modern plumbing and not camping or an outhouse or something, you should probably flush when you're done. This causes a toilet plume. Personally, I don't think this is enough to be considered "dirty," but I definitely wouldn't describe it as "less dirty."

Finally, partially depending on both your toilet type and body type, even if you're eliminating sanitized waste, there will still be interactions with several parts of the commode. Especially in public, that is definitely not a hygienic experience.

edit: I generally proofread my comments before posting, but somehow I still miss instances of my phone changing things like "wouldn't" to "would," completely undermining my intent.

We wipe because outside cleanliness is also important, not because it is more important than inside cleanliness. Otherwise you can just never take a shit to keep your outside cleanliness but then you'd become sick because your inside is too dirty.
