Whether that is a useful or sensible thing to say is debatable, especially since also non-entangled states (such as the wavefunction of a photon that went through a beam splitter) exhibit such correlations (the reflected part "collapses instantaneously" when the photon is detected to have been transmitted), so it is not a defining feature of entanglement.
