Maybe, but consider that all other floor-related code specifications apply to decks, such as load limits, railings, steps, et al. And, obviously you walk upon a deck. The code specifically addresses the need to treat other walked-upon surfaces exactly like interior floors, e.g. attic service floors. Seems that under-floor would be applicable for under-deck as well without much elasticity of though at all
