Your assumption holds for uncompressed stripped data. Yes, in that case, all strips but the last one will have the same ByteCount, since all strips but the last one have the same number of uncompressed image lines in them. (Nevertheless, even in this case, careful checking may be in order, and would normally have to be included in the implementation of the 'uncompressed decompressor' anyhow even if not checked in an earlier state.) Your assumption does not hold if any kind of compression in involved, for obvious reasons.
