Back in the days of the Vaibhashikas, religious theory was supposed to represent a true account of everything - a complete and unifying universal truth.

If that's what you mean by "universal truth" -- an explanation for everything in the universe -- then no the Buddhadhamma was never intended to do such a thing, and it might be helpful to clarify specialized definitions before asking such questions so that they do not become unnecessarily loaded. ;-)
