That is a good way to think of it.  The only thing about it is that a pure hole in the paper wouldn't provide any mechanism for scaling.  Everything would remain 1:1.  So I like to think of the viewport as a magic glass window with the ability to adjust magnification.  Then when you look thru the opening you're allowed to zoom in or out of the model depending on what you want to see.

But whatever idea you choose it takes something to get over the hurdle when you first try to learn this stuff.  Any visual analogies are good because everyone learns things differently.
