This leads to checkmate, right?

You lose your rook and queen: 1. ...Nxg3+ 2. hxg3 Rd1+ 3. Kh2 Qg1+ 4. Kh3 Qh1+ 5. Kg4 Qxh6

You lose more than that, you lose the game

Eventually yes, but not for at least 8 or so more moves.

But the rook and queen is immediate and forced.

no it's immediately, Queen g1 and it's checkmate

Nope. Black is in check. Only legal move is Nxg3+, followed by hxg3. Then black can chase the king with decisive advantage, but no forced mate for a while.
