Not exactly. That's a common misconception, especially considering a lot of literature from Earth refers to it the same way. That or the "Underworld."
But the term "Netherworld" in my universe is... different. It really more refers to a world in itself, like a planet. They're usually inhabited by demons and monsters, but there are some Netherworlds inhabited purely by humans, a mix of humans and demons, or angels.
And most demons aren't the fire and brimstone, horned things you read about. Most demons look... almost human. You've seen Mom. Her extra eye is unusual even amongst demons, but for the most part, demons and humans look a lot alike where I'm from.
