Yes, all the ways in which human lose water they also lose electrolytes

All except one: you also lose water through exhalation, particularly in dry air. It's basically never going to be the main way you lose water, though

Living in the sauna that is Arkansas, I don't usually think about dry air, but I think you are correct. If you've dehydrated yourself through breathing, plain water is fine for hydration.
