No, that's not what happens when you just chop a plant. The only thing that happens to a plant when you chop it is that it no longer is capable of the uptake of additional water and nutrients. It isn't as though the plant is just "dead". Obviously, ceasing all water uptake into a plant is going to result in the plant's processes to begin stopping, but the buds don't actually get damaged. Frost damage is different, in that the water in the cells actually freeze, which causes them to rupture, and the buds actually do get damaged. Also, for the same reasons why freezing trimming and buds that are to be used in hash-making is a good idea, as it makes the trichomes more brittle and loosens them up, frost damage to buds is a bad idea, because you're going to lose THC, which is why the plant is smoked in the first place, because it is physically more prone to simply falling straight off the plant.
That's why frost damage is a "big deal". Inverted knows what he is doing; that's why he has that pound and a half in the first place.
