Nah, the Goo probably isn't like the Swarm in Michael Chrichton's Prey, though it makes a neat story =)
It seems localized, unless spread intentionally, and the infected (before the current event, at least) seem concentrated in areas that already have Goo. The infected from the current event that I've seen have also been in close proximity to the existing Goo.
The future plans posted a few months ago that mentioned the new Marauder city also mentioned that the Goo was going to become dynamic. Perhaps the two are not related?
Unfortunately, the lack of information about the Goo helps foster the dismissive attitude toward it. There are occasional Goo creatures and Goo events and Karavan-aligned tribes are experimenting with it, but beyond the minimal amount of lore and other sources that discuss the Goo, it's easy to just treat it as something that hurts when you step in it and maybe an occasional plot element, and not much else.
I guess, since it spreads via sap veins, we could have it pop up in, say, Yrkanis, spread its Creep (to use your Zerg example) and pollute the city, and turn the Butcher of Thesos into Kerrigan-like super creatures =)
That would be fun =)
