Yes, drop bar vs upright bar makes a clearer way to differentiate cable ends. There are a few rare exceptions, but it's unlikely folks will encounter them.

OTOH, I still prefer to refer to the ends themselves,ie. barrel or egg (we used to call them Weinmann and Phillips, then both companies started making levers with the other head muddying the waters).

Unfortunately those who sell kits usually label them road or mtn, rather than bar or specific head type.
