Yeah, he was.Beerus long since said SSJ and base forms have god ki infused in them. The mere fact Goku can fight Beerus as a SSJ, after losing hia SSJ God form, proves this definitively. If Goku didn't have god ki mixed in his base/SSJ forms, his fight with Beerus would look exactly like it did when he challenged him on King Kai s planet.
And so would Vegeta'a fight with the newly minted SSJ. What applies for Goku, also applies for Vegeta, as Goku and Vegeta are roughly equal in power levels (Proven when copy Vegeta, with real Vegeta's exact powers, fought Goku to a standstill)
When Beerus said that Goku has infused godly Ki in him, he meant Goku became independent of his fellow saiyans. To put his Godly Ki fully in practice, he has to turn SSB from then on, but of course he always has that Ki inside him (no matter which form), in SSB it's just fully realized.
And copy Vegeta destroyed Gotenks. Cabba or Trunks are far from Godly Ki, not matter how was shown in the show (this is Dragon Ball after all). Sometimes it's just obvious. Only Hit was, no one came close, except Frieza.
And Goku surpassed Vegeta by far with his Kaio-ken. It doesn't matter what it did to Goku body (Goku also used it the first time in a fight), shown power level in Dragon Ball = Goku and also Hit>>>>>>Vegeta.
So no, Vegeta is not close equal to Goku or Hit by what we have seen.
And I don't know why this completely irrelevant things even annoys you. Just enjoy the show and that is it.
