Yes, its a wider application of newtons third law, which is that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Karma is like seeds tho; not all actions have the correct conditions for them to ripen, and sometimes they take many years to ripen, sometimes even more than a lifetime. So it can't be said that all actions bring results, because the conditions might not be right.
In the therevada tradition, karma actually means volitional action. People often mis-define karma as the result/fruit of the action. So a distinction is made between karma, and the fruits of karma.
