Depends on what you mean by "time". You could as easily say space is just a record of time. Spacetime is one integrated thing. Peeling off time out of spacetime is like peeling off vertical out of spacetime, sure you can name it separately, but it's an integral part of the whole. Motion cannot exist without space, and motion cannot exist without time. Motion cannot exist without spacetime.Without motion (down to the smallest scale; molecular, atomic, etc), time ceases to exist. Time is therefore just a record of motion.
It's important to remember that spacetime appears quantum and is something we are quantumly entangled with, just like the rest of matter. Below a certain threshold, the Planck length and Planck time, space and time are not something we can entangle with, and exist essentially as a distributed wave function just like everything else.
At its most fundamental, matter and energy are one and exist as a wave of probability. At its most fundamental space and time are one and exist as a wave of probability.
