Motherboards will have a CPU compatibility list in the support section of the manufacturer's website for checking compatibility.

Branding-wise yes. In terms of CPU design and manufacturing process then the 1000 series and 2000 G-suffix and Mobile CPUs are Zen, the 2000 series without iGPUs and the 3000 G-suffix and Mobile CPUs are Zen  and the 3000 series without iGPUs are Zen 2.
