"That's the potential difference across the choke limit."

That's not correct. The voltage rating of a choke is the maximum rated continuous DC voltage between the windings and the case. Hi-pot is a stress test intended to detect failures in the production process. It should never be used as a measure of the transformer's voltage rating in normal operation.
