Yes. It is not the matrix of spacetime itself, but a property of it.
When we say that "there is zero-point energy (a source of electrons, a "huge cloud" if you will) everywhere", where is this "everywhere" located exactly? This "everywhere" is not constant, it fluctuates, it varies and it can be measured.
Space(time) = "everywhere".
Gravity = gradient in ether's density/pressure.
Zero point energy = extraction of energy from this fluid variable ether.

Therefore the less mass, the more energy available for extraction by this method (ZPE).

This is why I believe that interstellar travel is far easier than currently believed, because the amounts of energy available in the interstellar medium (from its "vacuum") are immense in comparison to what we're used to deal with here on Earth. Because there is where all the ether is concentrated and therefore ZPE becomes immensely more abundant.
