Sure, that may be how Zugzul appears to the Afridhi or how they think their god appears (when they are under the Egg's mind-bending influence). But there doesn't seem to be any explicit mention of the Afridhi ever seeing Zugzul, although there are rumors he is now present in material form atop their original mountain home.
Maybe the rumors are false and it's all an illusion designed to deceive them. If nothing else, the deception could be for the Egg's entertainment as well as for getting help to eventually conquering Blackmoor.
It's an interesting thought, I suppose.
By the way, I see the Afridhi as a dark and sinister version of Zoroastrians. The one god concept (Ahura Mazda) and the emphasis on fire and fire rituals seem too similar to be purely coincidental.
