No.

There are different resolutions, depending on the game hardware.

Do any "real" arcade cabinets use televisions as monitors?

I think a lot of early games used modified TV's.

Here are the problems if you want to have it "exact".

1) Mame has not perfected every (any??) game yet. Many run just like the arcade while many others have numerous problems from very very minor (like a color being off) to very very major (like not booting or crashing in the middle of the game.)

2) Mame is known to not initialize the game/processors correctly (e.g. Dave Widel recently showed that Z-80 processor initialization is entirely wrong).
