I would use the terms true God and true man, but yes, that's essentially what the hypostatic union teaches. He's not the "second part" of God though, seeing as God does not consist of parts. God consisting of 3 parts would be tritheism.
But the problem I have with the phrase "three-in-one deity embodied in Jesus" is that nowhere in Scripture, or orthodox Christian doctrine/dogma is it ever taught that the entire "three-in-one deity" is incarnated as Jesus, but that the second Person of the Trinity took on a human nature when He incarnated as a man.
