Generally yes, as the way data is transfered may be completely different, found this on amazon, may be useful for you http://www.amazon.com/Startech-DP2HDMI-DisplayPort-Adapter-Converter/dp/B0017K6BDW

No, you would only need an active adapter in the opposite direction.

DisplayPort outputs send HDMI signals when connected to an HDMI device.

Displayport is king. It can output to DVI and HDMI (though technically those use the same video signal, so...)

so converting HDMI to DP i would need an active adapter? 

likewise i would need an active adapter for DVI to HDMI or VGA to DVI or HDMI?

DisplayPort (GPU) can go to an HDMI, Single-Link DVI-D, or VGA display.

 

HDMI (GPU) can go to a Single-Link DVI-D display.

 

Single-Link DVI-D (GPU) can go to an HDMI display.

 

Single-Link DVI-I (GPU) can go to an HDMI or VGA display.

 

Any other combination will need a converter ("active adapter").

Any of the above combinations, but involving a Dual-Link DVI connector instead of Single-Link, will also work but it will only operate in Single-Link mode.

Yes but only from DisplayPort from your graphics card to HDMI on a display, not the other way around.
