Depends on what the meaning of "is" is.
Okay, it's not quite that bad. There are "regular" SPD's and a couple of variations. SPD-R is one, and I think there may be one or two others that have some distinctive name. Any "regular" SPD cleat will work in any "regular" SPD pedal, regardless of whether one or both is marketed as "road" or "mountain" or "fitness" or "causal" or whatever.
