Not quite, as chess pieces of different shapes and colors would still play the game in the same manner. A bishop is a bishop; a rook is a rook. But civilizations play the game differently; Polynesia is not America. To make the analogy complete to chess, there would have to be a new piece that behaved in a new manner from the existing pieces.
(Chess is actually a bad analogy in general because no one's forcing you to make a rook only go in straight lines, etc. You can do whatever you want with the pieces once you buy the game.)

It's like when you buy a car.
You pay a price, say 100, but it's the base version.
Do you want the stereo? it's an extra 5.
Do you want the air conditioning system? It's an extra 5.
DLC is the same. You can play without it, but if you like it, it's an extra.
