"Romance" means, in this instance, "based on Latin, the language of the Romans," so yes, all Romance Languages are branches of the same trunk. In addition, some languages own much of their vocabulary to Latin or to another Romance Language, though they are classified as members of another family. English is one such. It's a Germanic language, but almost half of its words are from Latin.
