Yes, I study the esoteric aspects of Hinduism (Tantra) as well as the esoteric aspects of Vajrayana Buddhism (Tantra) and at the core there is absolutely NO difference between "Hindu Tantra" and "Buddhist Tantra".
Your diagram is like a Mandala or Yantra....You can go from the outside in to the middle, or from the middle to the outside and it makes no difference. You either start off or end up in Brahman/Void anyway and everything else, is just an attempt to explain the process, which is wholly dependent upon individual temperament, perspective and awareness.
