Are you asking about the cables that connect from USB jacks on a case to the USB pinouts on the motherboard? If so, no, not all the hookups are the same. They are standardized; however, so you should be able to connect most case USB cables to motherboards that have USB pinouts.
The thing to watch out is that some plugs are a full plug with a 2x4 pinning pattern, whereas some plugs are two plugs with 4 and 3 pinning patterns. The ones with a full plug should be easy to figure out since one of the pin holes is capped off so that you connect it facing the correct direction. In order to properly connect plugs that are separated, match the markings on the plugs to the markings on the pins (if there aren't markings, it's going to be very difficult to determine the correct facing to plug them in).
