Yes, boxelder bugs are called stink bugs.
Specifically, the insect in question (Boisea trivittata) belongs to the Rhopalidae family of supposedly scentless plant bugs. But in actuality the orange-and-black bug can release sharp-smelling and tasting compounds when disturbed or stressed. For this reason, it may be called a stinky bug even though the term stink bug generally designates insect members of the Pentatomidae family.
