Yup - arcade monitors are for all intents and purposes the same as the 15 kHz analog RGB monitors used on the Amiga/ST/IIgs. (I've used a 1084S and a IIgs monitor to show the picture from JAMMA boards successfully). In particular, they don't need broadcast-safe colors, you can crank the R/G/B to both ends and there's no problems.
Where broadcast-safe comes in is NTSC. Extremely bright red on NTSC causes very unattractive artifacting, for instance. But no vector games ran NTSC to the monitor, it would be nonsense.
