FWIW, yes.
Cyclones, by current meteorological definition, as I understand it, can encompass both hurricanes and typhoons (which are different names for the same thing in different hemispheres), as well as tropical depressions and tropical storms.
Tropical cyclones are Hurricanes. Extratropical cyclones are not. Cyclone also sometimes refers to Hurricanes that occur in the Indian Ocean.
At least that's the way I understand it.
