Yes, all of the cleats are compatible with all of the pedals. The only catch is that not all shoes are compatible with all pedals. For example, you may have trouble trying to use mountain bike shoes with quattros because the tread can interfere with the large bearing housing.

I'm not familiar with all the Crank pedals, but the ones that I have seen can use the same cleats. That includes the Quattro, Eggbeater, and Candy.

Bike ≠ Car ≠ Ped.
I just can't use Quattro cleats (the ones with the three-hole plate) on Mallet pedals. CB lists them as being compatible with Quattro, Eggbeater, and Candy pedals.
I can use the plain CB cleats in MTB shoes on any of their pedals, including Mallets and Quattros.
Both Quattro cleats and basic MTB cleats can be used on Eggbeaters, of course. But, the big plate of the Quattro cleat makes it feel like a decent-sized platform, while I start feeling hot spots after 30-40 minutes of using MTB shoes & cleats on the same Eggbeaters.
