If you want to be technical about it, fire is a chemical reaction. Have you heard of aether as a fifth element? It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the Avatar Universe, but not everything is comprised so simply as you seem to believe. There are things that don't fall under the four elements. Besides, Chi is a person's energy flow and that is named after water and manipulated by waterbending. Energy doesn't fall under any of the four element specifically, but under energybending. So again the answer is no, not all energy is firebending. If that were the case, energybending would be a sub skill of firebending, which it is not. Energybending is separate. Energy is separate. It also take a certain amount of energy to perform bending, or even in real life to simply move around and live. That energy often has nothing to do with fire, which is again technically a chemical reaction. Heck most of the energy your body gets through the digestion of food, which is a set of chemical reactions that have nothing to do with fire.
