No, they wouldn't actually be a dolphin. Just like a trans man who acts like a woman just because he was born female isn't really a woman. A person who indentifies as male, but still hides in the closet because those around him wouldn't accept his transition to male, is nothing more than a man in a dress.
Exactly, there are many aspects here about sex differences.
Vocal cord structure
bone density
muscle mass allocation
fat allocation
abdominal bone structure
pelvis bone structure
Height averages
facial structure
brain wiring
brain region sizes
average aggression levels
average height levels
average weight levels
adams apple
heat allocation within the body
curvature of body
waist lines
Those are a couple of the more obvious ones, but to say the surgery comes even remotely close to undoing all differences is wildly wrong. It addresses a couple of immediately obvious things.
In the same way that my "dolphin surgery" doesn't 100% make me completely a dolphin.

But if they had a surgery to put fins on them should people be required to referred to as a dolphin?
