SuperSpeed USB is the name for USB 3.0, yes, just like 2.0 was known as "hi-speed", although neither name/term is ever used in my experience. 

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

Yuppers, the only thing to be aware of is what type of SuperSpeed USB 3.0 a device supports. They're all intercompatible, however, you'll see devices labeling the technical specifications as USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type C or Gen 2 Type A (those are examples, may not be exactly like that) depending on what speeds are supported by the chipset in the device. In fact, USB 3.2 is supposedly carrying over the SuperSpeed nomenclature, probably because they're not going to USB 4.x yet...
