Recording a vote from an already-known account is way less than 100 ms, yes. Usually it's less than 100 ms but sometimes it can be several seconds.
When an activity is received the cryptographic signature on it needs to be checked and that means sending a network request to the creator's instance to retrieve the creator's public key (and profile pic, and cover pic each of which are more network requests. Then resize and store those images).
Images in posts need to be downloaded, resized, scanned for objectionable material, etc.
Every network request is quite unpredictable as many instances are overloaded or poorly configured.
