On the topic, no, the Nerevarine is an incarnation of Nerevar Indoril, does that mean you play as Nerevar and not the Nerevarine? I think you're misplacing reincarnation and mantling with total soul transfer (soul transfer would indeed mean Tiber is Lorkhan). Furhermore, Tiber Septim was a Shezarrine due to his Dragonborn status, does that mean the dude we play as in Skyrim is Shor, Lorkhan, Talos and Sheogorath, all at once? I don't think so. Well, "Soul Transfer", an incarnation is a person who embodies a diety in flesh, in this case Tiber Septim is the incarnation of Lorkhan/Shor, that means that he has his spirit (would you call the spirit of the hunt NOT hircine, but it's own thing?). As far as mantling goes, just because someone has mantled a title does not mean that they become one with their predecessors. Just bear in mind the concept of reicarnation in TES may be different to themeaning we give to it in real life, so I wouldn't go around saying Talos has the spirit of Lorkhan ;)
