The crucial point is that the domains of computable functions are *not* restricted to strings, even if the inputs to Turing Machines are.
There is not a bijection between natural numbers and strings. There is a one-to-many mapping from natural numbers to strings, just as there is a one-to-many mapping from computations (i.e. turing machine/input string pairs, i.e. actual Turing machines directly running on their inputs) to strings.While the inputs to TMs are restricted to strings, there is no such such restriction on computable functions.>The vast majority of computable functions of interest do *not* have strings as their domains, yet they remain computable functions (a simple example would be the parity function which maps NATURAL NUMBERS (not strings) to yes/no values.)>

Since there is a bijection between natural numbers
and strings of decimal digits your qualification
seems vacuous.
