No. Lunars tend to divide the world into three parts: the Material
World, the Divine World and the Transcendant World. The Transcendant
world is where ultimate truths like the Invisible God, Cosmic Dragon
and Nysalor hang around. To the Lunars, Chaos is part of the Divine
World and Illumination is part of the Transcendant World. The Orlanthi
do not know of a transcendant world and believe the Lunar concept of
the same to be chaos.

If you mean the Heroplane as in places like the Luathela, Giant Land
or Umaliath then it looks like what the inhabitants made it. But in
places where the mortals go to met their gods (ie Throne of Yelm,
Orlanth's Hall), then it tends to look like their beliefs of what the
place is like.
