~~In some cases also can classify as homophones.~~

Nope, it's bull, homophones and heteronyms go to different bars.

Then they wouldn't be heteronyms.

If by "cases" you mean accent, then that's certainly a possibility.

I Misunderstood what heteronyms where supposed to be.

Yep, pretty much opposite of what homophones are.
