No, but the ports are dual-mode. Plug a USB-C thing into it and it's a USB port. Plug a Thunderbolt device in and it's a Thunderbolt port.

Similar to the dual-mode mini-DP/Thunderbolt ports of the past.

The ports introduced today absolutely are USB-C.

If all USB ports on machine are also thunderbolt ports, it looks like a security problem.
